GALERIPORA SUCCELLI GONZÁLEZ- MIGUÉNS & LARA, SP. NOV. (FIG. 3) Zoobank registration: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 097341BF-C706-47DD-AB62-0467FC280DCB. Holotype: MA-Algae11252. Specific diagnosis: Test diameter 180.06–200.14 µm, average of 187.77 µm (N = 19); aperture 24.37– 33.35 µm, average 29.56 µm (N = 10). Colour ranges from transparent to yellow-orange. Subhemispherical test shape, with flattened edges and dimples in the surface that gives the test a golf-ball shape. The aboral side presents no ribs or keels. Building units are covered with an organic matrix that prevents observation of the building units, giving a smooth outlook to the test. The oral side is also flat and smooth, covered with an organic matrix that prevents observation of the test building units, with a central aperture. The only pores at the base of the test are localized around the aperture, following a circular pattern and curling slightly outwards to form a small ring or lip. Intraspecific variability: The number of pores surrounding the aperture can be variable. There may be certain deformations in the test that prevent it from having a perfectly circular morphology. Diagnosis with closely related species: Galeripora succelli can be diagnosed by its specific sequences of the mtDNA markers and by its phylogenetic placement. Galeripora succelli differs from Arcella guadarramensis by (1) its morphometric differences (see Morphometrics and morphology; Fig. 2) and it is larger than A. guadarramensis (see above); (2) a regular and marked granulation on the top of the test; and (3) the absence of pores along the edge of the arboral side of the test. Habitat: Wet Sphagnum moss, in a bog. Type locality: France, Frasne, La Tourbière (46°49’N 6°9’E). Etymology: The name is derived from the Gaulish god Succellos (-or Succellus, in its latinized form). ‘ Cellos ’ meaning striker and the prefix ‘ su ’ good, the god’s name could, therefore, be translated as ‘the Good Striker’. As god of agriculture, forests and traditional medicine, he was believed to be in charge of keeping the soil fertile. We propose this name in referring to the type locality being a fertile place with a great abundance of vegetation and surrounded by many crops., Published as part of González-Miguéns, Rubén, Soler-Zamora, Carmen, Villar-Depablo, Mar, Todorov, Milcho & Lara, Enrique, 2022, Multiple convergences in the evolutionary history of the testate amoeba family Arcellidae (Amoebozoa: Arcellinida: Sphaerothecina): when the ecology rules the morphology, pp. 1044-1071 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 194 (4) on page 1062, DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlab074, http://zenodo.org/record/6461266

GALERIPORA BALARI GONZÁLEZ- MIGUÉNS & LARA, SP. NOV. (FIG. 4) Z o o b a n k r e g i s t r a t i o n: u r n: l s i d: z o o b a n k. org:act: 8000271F-3AAD-4EBE-898B-29AB8908D5E2. Holotype: MA-Algae11256. Specific diagnosis: Test diameter: 72.95–84.20 µm, average 79.69 µm (N = 22); aperture 11.50–14.15 µm average 12.92 µm (N = 12). Colour ranges from transparent to yellow-orange. General test shape is rounded and flattened. The aboral side of the test has a small elevation at the top that gives the test a hat shape; presence of several ridges elevate the test forming a dome and flap borders; the surface does not have pores and presents a granular pattern of irregular shape. The oral side of the test is smooth, covered with an organic matrix that prevents observation of the test building units, with a central aperture. Pores are localized on the brim of the oral side and around the aperture, following a circular pattern and curling slightly outwards to form a small ring or lip. The aperture is evaginated outwards forming a short ring or lip. Intraspecific variability: The shape and number of ridges on the aboral side of the test can be variable. The number of pores around the aperture is variable. There may be certain deformations in the test that prevent it from having a perfectly circular morphology. Diagnosis with closely related species: Galeripora balari can be diagnosed by its specific sequences of the mtDNA markers and by its phylogenetic placement (see Molecular phylogeny; Fig. 1). Differs morphologically from other Galeripora arenaria closely related species by presenting (1) morphometric differences (see Morphometrics and morphology; Fig. 2); (2) small pores along the edge of the base test; and (3) irregular and marked granulations of the top surface of the test. Habitat: Mosses overhanging from a rock, in dry gypsum terrestrial. Type locality: Spain, Castilla La Mancha, Cuenca (40°05’N 2°07’W). Etymology: The name is derived from the Irish Celtic mythology ‘ Balar ’, which means ‘the flashing one’. Balar, a Fomorian leader, was described as a giant with a large eye that causes destruction when opened. He has been inferred as an incarnation of drought, plague and burning sun. We propose this name because the morphology of this species is similar to that of an eye, and because the type locality is a dry area.

Specific diagnosis: Test diameter: 71.65–74.95 µm, average 73.20 µm (N = 4); aperture 11.15 to 12.10 µm average 11.50 µm (N = 4). Colour ranges from transparent to yellow-orange. General test shape is rounded and flattened. The aboral side of the test has a small elevation at the top that gives the test a helmet shape; the surface does not have pores and presents a granular pattern of irregular shape. Large ridges cross the aboral side of the test. The oral side of the test is smooth, covered with an organic matrix that prevents the observation of test building units, with a central aperture. Pores are localized on the brim of the oral side and around the aperture, following a circular pattern. The aperture is invaginated outwards forming a short ring or lip. Intraspecific variability: The shape and number of ridges on the aboral side of the test can be variable. The number of pores around the aperture is variable. There may be certain deformations in the test that prevent it from having a perfectly circular morphology. Diagnosis with closely related species: Galeripora galeriformis can be diagnosed by its specific sequences of the mtDNA markers and by its phylogenetic placement (see Molecular phylogeny; Fig. 1). Differs morphologically from other species closely related to Galeripora arenaria by presenting (1) morphometric differences (see Morphometrics and morphology; Fig. 2), with a smaller test and aperture diameters than all species presented here; (2) pores along the edge of the base test; (3) presence of a dome in the top part of the test; and (4) irregular granulations of the top surface of the test. Habitat: Moss on dry gypsum; terrestrial. Type locality: Spain, Madrid, Rivas-Vaciamadrid, near Laguna del Campillo (40°19’N 3°30’W). Etymology: The name is derived from the Latin galerus, helmet, and forma, shape. We propose this name because a Roman helmet is round and wide with a flat brim, similar to the test of this species., Published as part of González-Miguéns, Rubén, Soler-Zamora, Carmen, Villar-Depablo, Mar, Todorov, Milcho & Lara, Enrique, 2022, Multiple convergences in the evolutionary history of the testate amoeba family Arcellidae (Amoebozoa: Arcellinida: Sphaerothecina): when the ecology rules the morphology, pp. 1044-1071 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 194 (4) on pages 1062-1063, DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlab074, http://zenodo.org/record/6461266

ARCELLA GUADARRAMENSIS GONZÁLEZ- MIGUÉNS & LARA, SP. NOV. (FIG. 8) Z o o b a n k r e g i s t r a t i o n: u r n: l s i d: z o o b a n k. org:act: 57A3452C-3C46-44F2-A5C9-48496E34BB57. Holotype: MA-Algae11251. Specific diagnosis: Test diameter: clade L: 114.60– 125.90 µm, average 120.30 µm (N = 6); aperture 19.60– 30.00 µm, average 23.63 µm. clade M 141.50–149.95 µm, average 146.06 µm (N = 4); aperture 31.25–34.50 µm, average 33.08 µm. Besides a difference in size, both clades have an identical morphology. Colour ranges from transparent to yellow-orange. Subhemispherical test shape, with flattened edges and dimples in the surface that gives the test a golf ball shape. No ribs or keels on the aboral side. Hexagonal building units are visible, which gives the test a rough appearance; little pores can be seen at the vertices. Building units can also be appreciated at the oral side of the test, with pores at the vertices and a central aperture. The aperture is invaginated outwards forming a short ring or lip. Intraspecific variability: The building units may vary slightly in shape. Some building units may be collapsed, giving a rough surface. There may be certain deformations in the test that prevent it from having a perfectly circular morphology. Diagnosis with closely related species: Arcella guadarramensis can be diagnosed by its specific sequences of the mtDNA markers and by its phylogenetic placement. Arcella guadarramensis differs morphologically from similar-looking G. succelli by (1) its morphometric differences with G. succelli (see Morphometrics and morphology; Fig. 2), both, clade N and O, are notably smaller than G. succelli and (2) the rough outlook of the test. Habitat: Wet Sphagnum moss, in a fen. Type locality: Spain, Madrid, Puerto de Canencia (40°52’N 3°45’W). Etymology: The name is derived from River Guadarrama, a river with a name of Arabic roots: wadi, river, and ar-rama, sandy. We propose this name as a reference to the type locality in ‘Sierra de Guadarrama’, a mountain range named after this river. We provide a key (Supporting Information, Table S3) and a new figure (Supporting Information, Fig. S3) to facilitate the identification of the new species., Published as part of González-Miguéns, Rubén, Soler-Zamora, Carmen, Villar-Depablo, Mar, Todorov, Milcho & Lara, Enrique, 2022, Multiple convergences in the evolutionary history of the testate amoeba family Arcellidae (Amoebozoa: Arcellinida: Sphaerothecina): when the ecology rules the morphology, pp. 1044-1071 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 194 (4) on pages 1065-1066, DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlab074, http://zenodo.org/record/6461266

Type species: Galeripora sitiens González-Miguéns, Soler-Zamora, Villar-dePablo, Todorov & Lara Description: Tests built exclusively with proteinaceous organic material. Shape more or less campanulate, with a central and circular aperture and radial symmetry. The aperture is surrounded by pores. The ultrastructure of the test is composed of hexagonal units that are at least partially covered with an organic matrix layer. Commonly, two or more nuclei, situated at opposite sides of the cytoplasm. Derivatio nominis: The name is derived from the Latin galerus, helmet and ‘ -por ī’, translated as ‘helmet-pores’. This name suggests the general shape of the theca that forms the members of this group, and the pores surrounding the opening, one of the synapomorphies of this genus.

Holotype: MA-Algae11254. Specific diagnosis: Test diameter: 89.05–92.95 µm, average 90.35 µm (N = 8); aperture 13.45–17.85 µm, average 14 µm (N = 4). Colour ranges from transparent to yellow-orange. General test shape is rounded and flattened. The aboral side of the test has several ridges that elevate the test forming a dome and flap borders; the surface does not have pores and presents a granular pattern of regular shape. The oral side of the test is smooth, covered with an organic matrix that prevents the observation of test building units, with a central aperture. Pores are localized only around the aperture, following a circular pattern and curling slightly outwards to form a small ring or lip. The aperture is invaginated outwards forming a short ring or lip. Intraspecific variability: The shape and number of ridges on the aboral side of the test can be variable. The number of pores around the aperture is variable. There may be certain deformations in the test that prevent it from having a perfectly circular morphology. Diagnosis with closely related species: Galeripora bufonipellita can be diagnosed by its specific sequences of the mtDNA markers and by its phylogenetic placement. Differs morphologically from Galeripora arenaria closely related species by (1) morphometric differences (see Morphometrics and morphology; Fig. 2); (2) the absence of pores along the edge of the aboral side of the test; and (3) a regular and marked granulation in the top surface of the test. Habitat: Mosses on the edge of a lake, partially (and temporally) submerged, growing on granitic rocks. Type locality: Spain, Madrid, Rascafría (40°51’N 3°56’W) and (40º52’N 3º52’W) and San Lorenzo de El Escorial (40°34’N 4°09’W). Etymology: The name is derived from the Latin bufo, toad and pellis, animal skin. We propose this name because of the ornamentation of the aboral side of the test, which is reminiscent of the warty skin of a toad., Published as part of González-Miguéns, Rubén, Soler-Zamora, Carmen, Villar-Depablo, Mar, Todorov, Milcho & Lara, Enrique, 2022, Multiple convergences in the evolutionary history of the testate amoeba family Arcellidae (Amoebozoa: Arcellinida: Sphaerothecina): when the ecology rules the morphology, pp. 1044-1071 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 194 (4) on page 1063, DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlab074, http://zenodo.org/record/6461266

Specific diagnosis: Test diameter 139.20–153.80 µm, average of 146.78 µm (N = 21); aperture 48.70– 59.10 µm, average 53.76 µm (N = 21). Colour ranges from transparent to yellow-orange. The test has a discoid, flattened shape. The edges of the test are somehow curved, giving the whole test a concave outlook, like a bowl. The aboral side of the test is flat. Building units can be partially covered with a proteinaceous matrix preventing the observation of these units. When this proteinaceous matrix is absent, small pores can be observed at the vertices of the building units, which are then located on both the aboral and oral sides. The oral side presents an aperture invaginated outwards forming a short ring or lip surrounded by many small pores. Intraspecific variability: The number of pores at the base of the test and the degree of coverage by the organic matrix can be variable. There may be certain deformations in the test that prevent it from having a perfectly circular morphology. Differences: Galeripora naiadis can be diagnosed by its specific sequences of the mtDNA markers and by its phylogenetic placement. Differs morphologically from other species closely related to Galeripora polypora by presenting (1) morphometric differences (see Morphometrics and morphology; Fig. 2) and (2) by its concave outlook. Habitat: Submerged vegetation, Ceratophyllum submersum, in an artificial lake. Type locality: Bulgaria: Sofia, Sofia Southern Park (42°39’N 23°18’E). Etymology: The name is derived from the Greek Ναϊάδες, the Naiads, who were female spirits or nymphs who ruled the rivers in Ancient Greek mythology. We propose this name to refer to the ecology of this species – pristine freshwater environments., Published as part of González-Miguéns, Rubén, Soler-Zamora, Carmen, Villar-Depablo, Mar, Todorov, Milcho & Lara, Enrique, 2022, Multiple convergences in the evolutionary history of the testate amoeba family Arcellidae (Amoebozoa: Arcellinida: Sphaerothecina): when the ecology rules the morphology, pp. 1044-1071 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 194 (4) on pages 1064-1065, DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlab074, http://zenodo.org/record/6461266
