Abstract

Seven species of Euglenophyceae with lorica (2 Strombomonas and 5 Trachelomonas) haven been studied. We analyzed their lorica microarchitecture by means of ligh microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, enumerating their different ornamental elements. We stand out the study of three population of Trachelomonas, two of them are provisionally included in T. nigra and T. similis respectively. The third one: Trachelomonas sp. show a large morphological variability with only one common ornamental character within of the population: a ring of perforations around the flagellum pore.
