Abstract

For over a century testate amoebae have been a favoured group of interest for protistologists, however there is still an endless amount of unanswered questions. The genus Plagiophrys, Claparede and Lachmann 1859, is still one of the unresolved mysteries as it comprises species with high morphological diversity of which no molecular data are available. To shed light on the phylogeny and taxonomy of Plagiophrys we (a) cultured four isolates of three Plagiophrys morphospecies and provided morphological observations (b) obtained three new SSU RNA gene sequences and conducted phylogenetic analyses of the Thecofilosea and (c) did intensive literature research, showing that Plagiophrys is polyphyletic. We partially untangle this polyphyly by combining several of its species with the genus Rhizaspis, Skuja 1948. Furthermore, we establish Sacciforma gen. nov. to accommodate P. sacciformis as it groups within the formerly known Rhizaspididae, which do not comprise our isolates of Rhizaspis (and therefore were renamed Rhogostomidae) since Rhizaspis it groups with maximum support as a sister-group to the Pseudodifflugiidae.
