Abstract
The series Peronoides of the genus Mallomonas consists of four taxa most often reported from warm, generally tropical, climates. Recently, the taxonomic position of M. bangladeshica has been questioned, and new observations on all of the species made. The purpose of this paper was to assemble and summarize the existing literature. and report on the morphological variability of specimens of M. peronoides and M. bangladeshica found in and around the delta region of the Paraná River in Argentina. We describe several additional morphological features for each taxon. We further propose that the taxon M. bangladeshica be retained at the present time, but as a variety of M. peronoides as originally proposed by Takahashi and Hayakawa (1979).
