Notes

The results of investigations are presented concerning the fauna of Rhizopda and Heliozoa in some regions of the Mediterrannean Sea, namely of the Adriatic Sea (Kjozga area), the Tyrrhenian Sea (close to Lago Lungo), and the Gulf of Tunis. In all, 21 species of Rhizopoda and 5 of Heliozoa have been found. A new species of Rhizopoda: Pseudodifflugia andreevi sp. n., is described. Data are completed on the morphology, ecology and geographical distribution of some other species which were not very well known and had a rather uncertain taxonomical position. An ecological classification is proposed of the Rhizopoda species presently known from the supralitoral psammal of the Mediterrannean coast.
