【 摘 要 】

Samples of ground litter and aerial (dead but still attached plant parts) litter collected from 20 localities in South Australia were examined for the presence of protosteloid amoebae. Fifteen described species were recovered, including seven species that are new records for Australia. In addition, the samples yielded three forms that appear to represent species new to science. Eleven different species were recovered from the 33 samples of ground litter, and 13 species were recorded from the 34 samples of aerial litter.
