Amastigomonas debruynei de Saedeleer 1931 (Fig. 2t) Observation: Cells are 5 to 6.5 µm long, dorso-ventrally flattened and flexible. The anterior flagellum is shorter than the cell, emerges from the tip of a laterally directed sleeve and beats in a small angle. The posterior flagellum is slightly longer than the cell, lies in a groove along the margin of the cell, trails under the cell and occasionally protrudes behind the cell. Strands of cytoplasm may be drawn out behind the cell. The nucleus is situated in the anterior left of the cell. The cells move by gliding. Rarely observed. Remarks: In this study the criteria for identifying morpho-species within Amastigomonas given by previous authors (Molina and Nerad 1991, Mylnikov 1999, Lee and Patterson 2000) is used. According to Ekebom et al. (1996) and Lee and Patterson (2000), Amastigomonas debruynei has synonyms; Thecamonas trahens, A. borokensis and A. caudata. This species has been reported from marine sites in Australia, North Atlantic, Brazil, Arctic ... : Published as part of Lee, Won Je, 2015, Small Free-Living Heterotrophic Flagellates from Marine Sediments of Gippsland Basin, South-Eastern Australia, pp. 53-76 in Acta Protozoologica 54 (1) on page 61, DOI: 10.4467/16890027AP.15.005.2192, http://zenodo.org/record/10994295 ...
