Plagiophrys armatus?
Moderators: rjlittlefield, ChrisR, Chris S., Pau
Bruce, thank you so much for the wake-up call. It is crazy, I have Penards book in my bookcase for thirty years and I have always overlooked that small drawing Maybe because I was mainly interested in Heliozoa and Naked amoebae. Only the last few years I pay more attention to the shelled amoebae.
Now I am convinced that my organism is identical with Penards one and the one described by Hopkinson. The right name should be Lecythium spinosum, because Plagiophrys-species are flattened. I also think that Franciscos specimen is a new Plagiophrys-species. It looks very flat. It should be nice to have some pictures of that specimen to compare with realted species.

It is exciting that so many species remain undescribed. I wonder how many new organisms I've ignored, simply because I was unable to detect their novelty?Ferry wrote: I also think that Franciscos specimen is a new Plagiophrys-species. It looks very flat.

I have the rule to record all I watch, on DVD, so I have always a backup file for subsequent checks.It is exciting that so many species remain undescribed. I wonder how many new organisms I've ignored, simply because I was unable to detect their novelty?

Hi Francisco,
Thanks for the permission. I have placed them here http://www.arcella.nl/plagiophrys-spec
It might be worth to mention were you have found it, e.g. kind of water, location.
