Arcellaceans (thecamoebians) are freshwater microscopic protozoans, similar to amoebae, that form agglutinated tests, or shells. Occasionally they also occur in brackish water (<5%) environments (Todd and Brönniman, 1957; Haman, 1982; Hayward et al.1996). Arcellacean distributional studies have been carried out over the past 150 years, mainly in lakes from Europe and North America (see references in Ogden and Hedley, 1980; Tolonen, 1986).
