Euglypha (you-gly-fa) a shelled amoeba with filose pseudopodia (although this picture is only of the test) and with the test covered in small overlapping scales and a terminal aperture. The aperture through which the pseudopodia emerge is located to the bottom of the picture. Phase contrast.

Protaspis (pro-tass-piss) A very common but little studied genus of gliding flagellates, two flagella inserted one in front of the other in a shallow ventral depression near the front of the cell. One flagellum trails behind the cell, one sweeps in front of the cell. Protaspis can produce pseudopodia and may eat diatoms. This individual has starchy inclusions. Phase contrast.

Euglypha (you-gly-fa) a shelled amoeba with filose pseudopodia (although this picture is only of the test) and with the test covered in small overlapping scales and a terminal aperture. This species also with some spines. The aperture through which the pseudopodia emerge is located to the bottom of the picture. Phase contrast.

Protaspis (pro-tass-piss) is a medium-sized heterotrophic flagellate. Two flagella emerge close to each other from a point behind the apex of the cell and on the ventral side. The anterior flagellum is typically shorter than the posterior flagellum. The ventral side may give rise to pseudopodia which can enclose food - such as diatoms. Phase contrast microscopy.

The anterior flagellum is typically shorter than the posterior flagellum. The ventral side may give rise to pseudopodia which can enclose food - such as diatoms. In this image, many cells have fused into a syncitium. Phase contrast microscopy.
