Nebela from British Columbia

This species is perhaps most similar to Nebela penardiana, but differs form it by the wavy side of the shell.

If you have any suggestion or if you have seen this species elsewhere we would be interested in your input!

Shoud we make our society a more formal one?

It is apparent from participation in the website that there is indeed an interest in a formal Society. There are many benefits with the formalization of the Society, most importantly, representation before other entities. However, there are a number of responsibilities and duties that will need to be performed by appointees. We would like to suggest that the moment of formalization is near and these issues need to be discussed in broader terms. We would appreciate some feedback on these issues. A forum thread on the website has been set up so that everyone can contribute to the discussion.

Hi all, I thought we could discuss about the identity of the amoeba featured in the Twilight Zone. Thanks in advance!

Per Tim Patterson's suggestion, the gramatically correct name of our society is:

International Society FOR Testate Amoebae Research

I remember Ralf Meisterfelf had suggested the same (or similar) name a while ago, based on a slightly different reasoning.

This seems like a reasonable name to me…
