Аннотация:The genus Euglypha contains the largest number of filose testate amoeba taxa which were mainly described based on the morphological characteristics of shells. Despite the increasing amount of molecular data, the phylogenetic relationships within the genus Euglypha remain unresolved. In this work we provide new data on SSU rRNA gene sequences, light and electron microscopy for the two euglyphid species Euglypha bryophilaBrown, 1911 and Euglypha cristataLeidy, 1874. Both species are characterised by the presence of a turf of spines on the aboral pole of the shells but differ in shell cross sections (elliptical and circular, respectively). A newly revealed feature of E. bryophila is a three-lobed thickening at the anterior margin and an elongated lobe at the posterior margin of apertural plates. The phylogenetic analysis shows that the species group together with the previously sequenced taxa of the genus Euglypha according to the shell cross-section. The subdivision of the genus based on the shell symmetry may reflect evolutionary trends to complication of the shell from radial to biradial symmetry. We also suggest that the shape of the anterior thickening of apertural plates and the lobe at the posterior margin can be used to distinguish Euglypha at the species level.

Аннотация:Fifty-two species and intraspecific taxa of testate amoebae have been detected in 24 different habitats in the Belaya River basin (Northwestern Caucasus). Four types of communities are distinguished which differ in the composition of the complex of dominating species: freshwater species from bottom sediments in water bodies and water courses, soil-dwelling species from inundated parts of floodplains, a mixture of soildwelling and freshwater species in different littoral biotopes, and eurybiontic species in moss hummocks along the banks.
