Notes

The group Capsellina Penard, 1909 and Rhogostoma Belar, 1921 gathers together four species which do not present all the same features. Although these species occur uncommonly in the Testaceans faunal data owing to the isolation methods of naked amoebae, we were able to study several strains. These strains, which were isolated from quite different biotopes, were investigated in different manners: light microscopy, SEM, TEM, IFAT and cell-cultures. The result of these studies, after discussion at the light of the first three author's works, leads to a new systematic classification.
