I found this only specimen in a sample of floating debris from Kromme Rade, the Netherlands. The amoeba was slender and active, with no food particles present. It had about 16 nuclei, each disc shaped, circular from above and broad elliptical in lateral view. Small pieces of nucleolar material lay dispersed throughout the nucleus.
Dimensions: Monopodium 450-550 µm; nuclei 18.1-21.1 µm.
Habitat: Freshwater, floating debris, Kromme Rade, the Netherlands.
About seven nuclei are visible, see detail below
