Abstract
During the studies of amoebae from the rare and highly productive soil of Chernevaya taiga (West Siberia, Russia) we have found an isolate of a leptomyxid amoeba showing 18s rDNA sequence significantly different from those of other known species of the order Leptomyxida. Here we describe this isolate as a new species, Leptomyxa silvatica n.sp. This species has both morphological and sequence differences from related ones. This finding confirms that reliable morphological differentiation and identification of leptomyxid amoebae is possible only for several remarkable species, while others require molecular data to be correctly labeled or described.

期刊介绍：
Protistology is one of the five "organism-oriented" journals for researchers of protistan material. The Journal publishes manuscripts on the whole spectrum of lower Eukaryote cells including protozoans, lower algae and lower fungi. Protistology publishes original papers (experimental and theoretical contributions), full-size reviews, short topical reviews (which are supposed to be somewhat "provocative" for setting up new hypotheses), rapid short communications, book reviews, symposia materials, historical materials, obituary notices on famous scientists, letters to the Editor, comments on and replies to published papers. Chronicles will present information about past and future scientific meetings, conferences, etc. THE PECULIARITIES OF THE JOURNAL - reviews, overviews and theoretical manuscripts on systematics, phylogeny, evolution and ecology of protists are favourably accepted - the manuscripts on multicellular organisms concerning their phylogenetic and taxonomic relationships with protists are also accepted - the size of manuscripts is usually not limited
