Genus Stenamoeba Smirnov et al., 2007

Diagnosis: Narrow, oblong, linguliform amoebae with large anterior hyaline area, occupying about half of the cell. Several parallel longitudinal ridges and few lateral folds are common, but ridges are never stable for a long time. In locomotive cells, the single nucleus usually maintains its position at the border between the granuloplasm and the hyaloplasm. Single-walled cysts; glycocalyx thin, amorphous.
