Abstract
In his search for evidence illustrating the botanical/zoological affinities of the sponges (Porifera), James-Clark (1867) studied a number of colourless flagellates. The genusSalpingoeca(Craspedophyceae, Christensen, 1962; cf. Chadefaud, 1960) was thus erected to comprise certain solitary, lorica-dwelling organisms, characterized by a single anterior flagellum encircled by a ‘filmy, membranous, colourless collar’ (James-Clark, 1867).About fifty species (approximately twenty marine) are at present allocated to this genus, provided it is defined as e.g. by Norris (1965) and Bourrelly (1968) (i.e. includingLagenoecaKent andPachysoecaEllis).This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
