Clydonella rosenfieldi Sawyer, 1975 (ref. ID; 6796) reported year? (ref. ID; 3847)
Descriptions
Marine amoebae. (ref. ID; 3847)
Locomotive form discoid with mooth anterior margin and shallow convex posterior margin. The hyaloplasm occupies half or more of the total body area. Length in locomotion 14-19 um (average 17 um), breadth 14-19 um (average 16 um). Single vesicular nucleus ca. 4.5 um in diameter with central nucleolus 2-2.5 um in diameter. Rate of locomotion about 40 um/min. Floating form with numerous long blunt-tipped hyaline pseudopodia which may bend slightly along their axes to resemble rootlets; some may fork at the tip. Description and illustrations: Sawyer (1975). Neither ultrastructure nor type material. (ref. ID; 6796)
Habitats
Marine, tolerates up to 7.5 ppt salinity. (ref. ID; 6796)
Descriptions
Locomotive form ovoid with slightly rippled or smooth anterior margin and flattened posterior margin. The hyaloplasm occupies half or more of the total body area. Length in locomotion 21-40 um (average 28 um), breadth 18-37 um (average 27 um). Single vesicular nucleus, ca. 4.5 um in diameter with central nucleolus 3-3.5 um in diameter. Rate of locomotion, ca. 35-40 um/min. Floating form with numerous long blunt-tipped hyaline pseudopodia. Description and illustrations: Sawyer (1975). Neither ultrastructure nor type material. (ref. ID; 6796)

Descriptions
Marine amoebae. (ref. ID; 3847)
Locomotive form semicircular or fan-shaped with smooth anterior margin and slightly concave or triangular posterior. Hyaloplasm occupies half or more of the total body area. Length in locomotion 12.6-18.0 um (average 14.2 um), breadth 9.0-15.3 um (average 12.9 um). Single vesicular nucleus ~2.8 um in diameter. Rate of locomotion ~46 um/min. Floating form with numerous long blunt-tipped hyaline pseudopodia; some of the these pseudopodia may fork distally. Description and illustrations: Sawyer (1975). Neither ultrastructure nor type material. (ref. ID; 6796)
Habitats
Marine, tolerates up to about 17.5 ppt salinity. (ref. ID; 6796)
Clydonella wardi Sawyer, 1975 (ref. ID; 6796) reported year? (ref. ID; 3847)
Descriptions
Marine amoebae. (ref. ID; 3847)
Locomotive form ovoid with nearly parallel lateral margins and flat or slightly concave posterior margin. The hyaloplasm occupies half or more of the total body area; in locomotion wide waves of the hyaloplasm flow anteriorly and disappear on reaching the advancing margin. Length in locomotion 14-20 um (average 18 um), breadth 13-19 um (average 16 um). Single vesicular nucleus ca. 3-3.5 um in diameter with central nucleolus, ca. 2.5 um in diameter. Rate of locomotion, ca. 35 um/min. Floating form with numerous long, blunt-tipped, slightly bent hyaline pseudopodia, which may fork at their tips. Description and illustrations: Sawyer (1975). Neither ultrastructure nor type material. (ref. ID; 6796)
Habitats
Marine, tolerates up to about 22.5 ppt salinity. (ref. ID; 6796)
