Hemistasia phaeocysticola

Hemistasia phaeocysticola (Scherffel, 1900) Elbrächter & Schnepf, 1996

Descriptions from checklists and floras indexed by GBIF

discussion

Remarks: This species has been reported from marine sites in Australia, Germany, Wadden Sea and Korea, with cell lengths of 12 – 25 µm (Scherffel 1900; Griessmann 1913; Elbrächter et al. 1996; Tong et al. 1998; Lee and Patterson 2000; Al-Qassab et al. 2002; Lee 2002 b, 2006 b). The genus Hemistasia resembles Entomosigma, Rhynchobodo and Cryptaulax. The latter two genera have been synonymised (Bernard et al. 2000). Hemistasia is very similar to Rhynchobodo, but can be distinguished by its anterior papillum. The cells observed here are similar to Rhynchobodo thiophila sensu Skuja 1956 in cell length and general appearance, but can be distinguished by the presence of the flexible anterior papillum.
