Description of Amastigomonas: Biflagellate gliding protists, flagella insert subapically and to one side, dorsal surface of the body is covered with a thin organic theca, and the ventral surface produces pseudopodia. Anterior flagellum is enclosed basally or completely by the theca. Posterior flagellum trails under the body, both flagella may be very difficult to see. From marine and freshwater sites. Several species; Type species A. debruynei de Saedeleer 1931.
