Notes
Small cyst-forming amoebae described as Schizopyrenus horticolus Singh & Hanumaiah, 1979, were cultured from sediment samples taken from three sites along the Chester River, Kent Country, MD. Morphological studies on cysts and trophozoites showed sufficient differences between Sch. horticolus and the type species, Sch. russelli Singh, 1952, to justify its removal from that genus. A new genus, Singhamoeba is proposed to accommodate the species horticolus.
