Hello
Some time ago posted a video of Dysteria
http://youtu.be/XCNW3Uo7s-c
however, seem different. Are they two different species?

well, there is plenty of choice in dysteria up to 250um or so... But the 'toe'stands out in your video as does the invaginated top part.
Kahl shows 50 species of Dysteria or so. But I wouldn't dare myself to go down to species.

Best wishes, René
