Schwabia spec., with small aperture
Schwabia sp.
Diagnosis: shell chitinoid, yellow to brownish, broad elliptical, not compressed, covered with minute particles; aperture relatively small, irregular; nucleus very large, granular; filopodia long and straight, branching, sometimes anastomosing.
Dimensions: My measurements: c. 57 µm long.
Habitat: Sphagnum, Haaksbergerveen, the Netherlands.
Remarks: I found this species once; it is remarkable because of the small aperture, which resembles those found with Rhizaspis and Lecythium.
