Lingulamoeba (ling-you-la-me-ba) is a naked lobose amoeba, typically monopodial (producing a single progressing pseudopodium). The hyaline cap is often very extensive and may develop distinctive ridges. Phase contrast.

Vannella (van-ell-a), naked free-living amoeba, moves with a single pseudopodium directed forwards (i.e. is unipodial). Hyaline region very extensive. Posteriorly, the uroid is just a stiffened region of cytoplasm. Consumes bacteria. Very similar to Platyamoeba, distinguished usually by the slightly broader aspect. This is V. aberdonica. Phase contrast.
