Notes

A brief review of the establishment and characterization of the Genus Vexillifera Schaeffer, 1926, is followed by a description of nine new species in that Genus: Vexillifera telma n. sp.; Vexillifera arionoides n. sp.; Vexillifera filopodia n. sp.; Vexillifera variabilis n. sp.; Vexillifera minuta n. sp.; Vexillifera subula n. sp.; Vexillifera anapes n. sp.; Vexillifera displacata n. sp. and V. spinosa n. sp. The distinctions of the new species compared to other species of the Genus are discussed, as well as the distinctions of the Genera Vexillifera Schaeffer, 1926, Oscillosignum Bovee, 1953 and Subulamoeba Bovee, 1953, with clarification of those Genera.
