Abstract Coronamoeba villafranca gen.nov.sp.nov.

is a small amoeba isolated from the surface planktonic biotope in the Bay of Villefranche (Mediterranean Sea).It has a confusing set of morphological and molecular characters.Its locomotive form is subcylindrical and monopodial with monoaxial cytoplasmic flow and occasional hyaline bulging at the anterior edge (a monotactic morphotype).Based on this set of characters, this amoeba is most similar to members of the genus Nolandella (Tubulinea, Euamoebida).

However, molecular phylogenetic analysis based on only the small subunit ribosomal RNA Serological survey of Neospora caninum in dairy herds from Parauapebas, State of Pará (SSU rRNA) gene and on two concatenated markers (SSU rRNA gene and actin) robustly places this species in the Discosea, specifically, in a clade with Dermamoeba and LA REGULARIZACIÓN DEL «QUINTO AÑO» EN SUPUESTOS DE DELITO FISCAL: ¿UN CASO DE RENUNCIA A LA PRESCRIPCIÓN TRIBUTARIA GANADA? Paradermamoeba (Dermamoebida) as the closest described relatives, and several SSU rRNA clones from environmental DNA.A unique glycocalyx of the studied amoeba consisting of complex separate units with pentameric symmetry may be considered a unifying character of this species with other dermamoebids.The monotactic morphotype demonstrated by these amoebae primarily occurs in Tubulinea but was recently confirmed in other clades of Amoebozoa (e.g.

Dactylopodida and Variosea).This morphotype may be the plesiomorphic mode of cell organization in Amoebozoa that might have evolved in the last amoebozoan common ancestor (LACA) and conserved in several lineages of this group.It may reflect basic characteristics of the cytoskeletal structure and functions in Amoebozoa.
