Abstract
Summary The structure of the marine amoeboflagellate Heteramoeba clara Droop 1962 was investigated using light- and electron microscopy, and many details of the original description were confirmed. New observations of the amoeboid phase showed that the organism was typically uninucleate and possessed a thin amorphous surface coat on the plasma membrane. A dictyosome appeared to be absent. Nuclei displayed a variety of forms and division was confirmed as promitotic. When the morphology of both flagellate stages are considered together with observations of the amoeba, it is clear that H. clara has all the characters of the Vahlkampfiidae and should be retained in that family.
