The individuals with resting nuclei are very similar and could hardly be distinguished, though the endospherules of the latter species are larger. But the nuclei of dividing individuals are very different. In Z.

As the nuclear phenom- €na are the most fundamental in the speciation of the Protoopalinas and Zelleriellas, I do not hesitate to recognise Z. venezuelae as a.
