Abstract:

Paraluffisphaera tuba gen. n., sp. n. is a very small (∼ 3 μm), enigmatic organism, that was isolated from montane grassland in Scotland, and from inland saline water in Spain. The cell surface of this new protist is covered with scales of two types: base scales and tubular scales. No flagella or pseudopodia were observed. The gross morphology resembles scale-bearing protists of the genus Luffisphaera, but the new organism is distinctly different. Like Luffisphaera, Paraluffisphaera should be considered an incertae sedis protist.
