Notes
A critical review of research up to now on the interstitial testate amoebas from the Mediterranean basin in made. In all 57 interstitial species are known, belonging to 3 ecological categories: psammobiotic (29), psammophilic (10) and psammoxenic (18). The characteristic morphological adaptations to the interstitial life are discussed. Four taxa, insufficiently described from the French Mediterranean coast, namely Ellipsopyxis marinus Decloitre, Centropyxis marinus Decloitre, C. pentagonia Decloitre and Cyclopyxis marinus Decloitre, are considered as Nomina nuda.
