Awerinzewia Schouteden. Representative species. Awerinzewia cyclostomata Schouteden 1902. Shell a chitinous envelop covered by siliceous plates, some large, scatter- ing, others small, filling in between the large ones. Sand grains often at- tached to the posterior border. Color usually violet. Nucleus single. Closely allied to the genus Heleopera. Length 135 to 178 /j. Habitat mosses. Fig. 317. Awerinzewia cyclostomata. X100. (After Penard.) 93 (92) Aperture elliptical or Unear, not terminating a tube. Heleopera Leidy 94. 94 (95) Chlorophyl always present Heleopera picta Leidy 1874. The shell is very regular in outline, of a yellowish tint, usually with little foreign material attached. The presence of chlorophyl seems to be necessary to the life of the animal. Pseudopodia numerous. Found in sphagnous swampa. Length 100 to no /x. Fig. 318. Heleopera picta. X 150. (After Leidy,) 95 (94) Wine-red in color Heleopera rosea Penard 1890. This species may be known by its color, the tint being of variable depths. Sand grains and other foreign elements cover the fundus of the shell. A thin, yellowish Up borders the aperture. Found among mosses in swamps. Length 90 to 100 it. Fig. 319. Heleopera rosea. X 150.
