Abstract
SYNOPSIS Four clonal strains of amoebae isolated from salt‐water habitats of the Maine coast show the characteristic Nebenkörper or paranucleus of the genus Paramoeba Schaudinn, 1896, this being the first report of free‐living members of that genus from North America. The isolates are identified as 2 species, P. pemaquidensis n. sp. and P. aestuarina n. sp. In form and mitotic pattern, these 2 species resemble members of the family Mayorellidae.Keywords
