Description:

Stachyamoeba (stack-ee-a-me-ba) is a free-living amoeba, usually flattended, expanded anterior margin with broad hyaline zone. With filaments arising from the uroid. At one time treated as a gruberellid and probably related to the acrasids, it can be seen to have a flagellated stage with two flagella which indicates that it is a fairly conventional heteroloboseid. Phase contrast.
