Genus Vannella Bovee, 1965 View in CoL
The genus Vannella contains amoebae of the fan-shaped morphotype. When in motion, their shape is either fan-like or a half-circle, a crescent, or shovel-like. Most species have single vesicular nuclei, while some have peripheral nucleoli. They are capable of producing floating forms; this ability is one of the main diagnostic features. There were some cases of cyst formation observed.
There are species that live in fresh and salt water and in soil ( Alimov, 2000).
