Raphidiophrys (raff- fid-ee-off-riss) intermedia is a solitary species of this genus. The disc-shaped spicules are arranged tangentially around the pseudopodia. In contrast to the similar Raphidiophrys elegans the spicules of Raphidiophrys intermedia are formed like staples in tangential view. The spherical nucleus is placed eccentrically. There are 2 - 3 contractile vacuoles. The body is often irregular and not perfect round. The individuals can often be coloured green by symbiotic algae or algae in food vacuoles. This specimen was collected in a pond near Konstanz, Germany and is coloured green, probably caused by symbiotic. The body is irregular and the extrusomes on the pseudopodia are evident. Differential interference contrast.
