Type species: Oleiformis major (Penard, 1890) comb. nov.
Description: Scales from the shell are non-imbricated, the species inhabits in freshwater ecosystems and they have a balloon-shaped shell that measures between 50–100 μm more than the largest species in the sister genus Cyphoderia .
Etymology: The genus name refers to the shape like an olive.
Included taxa: See Supporting Information, Appendix S1.
Oleiformis carmelae Soler-Zamora, Useros, González-Miguéns & Lara sp. nov.
( Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 5 B View Figure 5 2 View Figure 2 ; Model 2; Supporting Information, Fig. S1 View Figure 1 )
Zoobank registration: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:.
Type locality: Morollón River , Fuente de la Gitana recreational area, La Peza, Spain ( 37º 51ʹ N 2º 47ʹ W) GoogleMaps .
Habitat: River sediment.
Measurements: 169.92–190.83 μm length, 67.44–83.14 μm width, 22.51–27.85 μm pseudostome large axis, and
2.65–2.99 × 1.93–2.26 μm scales from the middle of the shell ( N = 13).
Specific diagnosis: Elongated shell with an almost perfectly circular section. The shell is larger towards its middle part, giving an inflated appearance; rounded fundus. Short neck in comparison to other members of Cyphoderiidae . Rounded pseudostome with a thin organic layer surrounding it. Elliptical scales placed next to each other in a structured fashion; each scale is surrounded by six pores.
Intraspecific variability: Some individuals have a slightly more pointed fundus (Supporting Information, Fig. S1 View Figure 1 ).
Differential diagnosis: It can be confused with O. major because of their similar shell shape. O. carmelae is smaller, with relatively larger scales. It differs also genetically in both COI and SSU.
Etymology: In honour of Professor Carmen Zamora-Muñoz, mother of the first author.
Holotype: MA-Amoeba 11264.
