Summary
The aim of the present review is to bring together the main references on the diversity of species, geographic distribution, taxonomy, and phylogeny of naked Amoebozoa from marine and brackish water environments, including those directly connected with the World Ocean, as well as continental saline biotopes. The main body of data is structured in the tables according to the most recent classification of Amoebozoa, which list all published species names with references to the initial descriptions, redescriptions where applicable, data on the biotopes where the species were found, available strains, salinity tolerance ranges, and types of available published data including light and electron microscopical studies, and Genbank accession numbers of published sequences. In addition, we provide a brief overview of the history of investigations of marine amoebae, briefly discuss the current state of their species concept, and current knowledge of their relations to environmental salinity.

Introduction
Since publication of F.C. Page's (1983) key titled "Marine Gymnamoebae", a lot of changes have been introduced into the taxonomy ofthe amoeboid protists. These changes included both, additions to the number and diversity of the known species, and taxonomic rearrangements of the existing species based on the molecular phylogenetic analysis. Compared to the earlier morphology-based systems
(e.g. Jahn et al., 1974; Page, 1976a, 1987), currently used classifications are based on the combination of molecular and morphological data (Cavalier-Smith et al., 2004, 2015, 2016; Smirnov et al., 2005, 2011; Kang et al., 2017; Adl et al. 2019). The higher-level taxa in these new systems significantly differ in composition and names from the traditional groups ofthe earlier morphology-based systems. Moreover, some species names introduced by earlier researchers easily go overlooked and forgotten in subsequent

revisions, with the obvious risk of getting the same species described more than once under different names. This causes the need for further laborious reinvestigations and decisions of whether the taxon isolated later is the same morphospecies as described years ago, or still demonstrates enough differences that justify its description under a different name. This should often be performed in the case when no "type culture" or otherwise preserved material is available for reinvestigation and comparison. To permit easier solution of these problems, a list of published species names, preferably tracing changes in synonymy and providing literature references has to be published sometimes, providing a reference bibiliographic material for biodiversity studies. We provide this list for marine and brackish water naked Amoebozoa, including, besides lite-rature references, also data on recorded habitats where available. Within the frames of this paper, we consider all species observed in either open sea, or coastal habitats directly connected to the ocean, regardless ofthe salinity of a habitat (i.e. also brackish water, aestuarine habitats). Species recorded in continental saline and brackish waters (saline lakes, rivers, etc., not directly connected to the ocean) are also included, as they may often include the same morphospecies as those inhabiting marine biotopes. The classification system used in this paper is basically that of Adl et al. (2019), as this system is the most up to date. The macrotaxa suggested in this system take into account the results of the most recent phylogenomic studies. At the same time it is detailed enough, listing taxa down to the level of genera. Genera proposed after the publication ofthis system are indicated in appropriate sections.
Brief historical overview of investigations on marine Amoebozoa
Marine amoeboid protists were most probably first mentioned by Dujardin (1841) who described and depicted several species from Mediterranean habitats. Several works describing a number of species of marine amoebae were also published in the second half of the 19th — beginning of 20th centuries (e.g. Grassi, 1881; Mereschkowsky, 1879; Gruber, 1882a, 1882b, 1883a, 1883b, 1885, 18871888; Frenzel, 1897; Calkins, 1902;), however, these papers were scattered over the literature and usuallycontained descriptions ofjust a few species. Some-times a lot of details on morphology and biology of the studied species were provided (e.g.
Schaudinn, 1896; Janicki, 1912), however, not much of the species diversity was described during 19th and the first quarter of the 20th century. There were no large and impactful monographs like those on freshwater amoebae by Cash and Hopkinson (1905, 1909), Leidy (1879), or Penard (1902).
The first significant monograph that contained a large number of species of marine origin was published by Schaeffer (1926). The same work set the basic principles of classification and identification of the naked amoebae in general. The number of studies started to grow later, mostly in the 1960s and 1970s. These studies in many cases represented descriptions ofnaked amoebae as part of the general investigation of microfauna in particular habitats (e.g. Biernacka, 1963 on the fauna of the Bay of Gdansk, or Kufferath, 1952 on the North Sea fauna near Ostende). Several studies specifically addressed the diversity of naked lobose amoebae in particular locations and included descriptions of numerous new species and genera. Among these, papers by Sawyer(1971a, 1971b, 1975a, 1975b,1975c, 1980) should first be mentioned. Although based on only light microscopy, these studies introduced a lot of new species and several new genera. The validity of some of them was later verified using electron microscopy and molecular phylogeny (Page, 1979b; Smirnov, 1996; Peglar et al., 2003; Kudryavtsev et al., 2011, 2020). In parallel with the cited works, Page (1970a, 1970b, 1971a, 1971b, 1972a, 1972b, 1973, 1974, 1976c, 1979a, 1979b, 1980a, 1980b, 1980c, 1981a, 1981b, 1983a; Page and Willumsen, 1983) performed a significant amount of work on isolation and investigation ofmarine and aestuarine naked lobose amoebae from the habitats in the United States (Atlantic coast) and coastal habitats of Great Britain. At the same time, some ofthe material he has been working on originated from the Persian Gulf and Australia (Page, 1980a, 1981b, 1983a). A detailed comparison of the diversity of species found in American Atlantic and British habitats allowed Page (1976c) to evaluate occurrence of certain species on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In particular, five marine/brackish water species were mentioned in this paper as present on both sides of the Atlantic.
Accumulation of species descriptions by 1979 allowed Bovee and Sawyer (1979) a publication of a key to marine and freshwater species of amoebae within the series of "Marine flora and fauna of the northeastern United States". Four years later, Page (1983a) published a key titled "Marine Gymnamo-ebae" that contained a comprehensive set of light
and electron micrographs of a number of species that were mostly collected and described by the author himself. Although this key contains data on the majority of genera and species known by that time, some names, especially those from earlier works were mentioned only briefly, and some were just listed without any further data.
In parallel to the above-cited works, the papers by Karl Grell should be mentioned that contained a number of descriptions ofvarious species of branching and plasmodial amoeboid organisms (Grell, 1966, 1988, 1991; Benwitz and Grell, 1971a, 1971b; Grell and Benwitz, 1978). The genera Corallomyxa and Stereomyxa established in these works are still included in Amoebozoa as valid taxa, although their current position is incertae sedis (Adl et al., 2019). In addition, Grell's investigations of Paramoeba eilhardi Schaudinn, 1896, and especially its ultrastructure (Grell, 1961; Grell and Benwitz, 1966, 1970) have set the basis for our modern understanding of this species and the whole group of marine members of Paramoebidae containing an intracellular symbiont Perkinsela amoebae or Perkinsela amoebae-like organism (PLO). Grell (1961) was the first to suggest that the "Nebenkorper" ("secondary nucleus") described in P. eilhardi by Schaudinn (1896) was indeed an intracellular symbiont. This hypothesis was further developed and proven in subsequent works (Grell and Benwitz, 1970; Perkins and Cas-tagna, 1971) and ended up with the inclusion of the symbiont in Kinetoplastida by Hollande (1980) confirmed later with molecular data. Grell's strain of Paramoeba eilhardi became the one on which the modern understanding of this species is based, as it was deposited in the Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa (strain CCAP 1560/2) and further investigated using molecular methods (Mullen et al., 2005; Volkova et al., 2019 ; Kudryavtsev et al., 2011).
Another set of studies on the diversity of marine amoebae from 1970ies-1990ies that has to be mentioned separately was the research by British and American authors including O. Roger Anderson and Andrew Rogerson. In these works, a number of species of marine and aestuarine naked amoebae were described or reinvestigated (Rogerson, 1993; Anderson et al., 1997, 2003; Rogerson et al., 1998; Hauer et al., 2001, ) and in addition, a number of studies on ecology of marine amoebae, including their distribution in different biotopes, abundances and relations to different environmental factors were performed (Rogerson, 1991; Rogerson and Laybourn-Parry, 1992; Anderson and Rogerson, 1995; Rogerson et al., 1996; Butler and Rogerson,
1996, 1997; Rogerson and Gwaltney, 2000). This is also important that these authors led systematic research using light and electron microscopy on Amoebozoa isolated from the inland salt-water bodies and their salinity tolerance (Rogerson and Hauer, 2002; Hauer and Rogerson, 2005a, 2005b).
The research on biodiversity of marine and brackish-water Amoebozoa continued over the second half of the 1990s into the 21st century with several papers led by Alexey Smirnov (Smirnov, 1996, 1997, 1999a, 1999b, 2001; Smirnov and Kudryavtsev, 2005) that employed a set of "classical" methods (i. e. light and electron microscopy). At the same time, an approach to Amoebozoa biodiversity investigations using molecular tools started to develop. At this stage, culture collections assembled during the previous studies (e.g. American Type Culture Collection in the United States and Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa in the UK) became of pivotal importance. While officially these cultures were never designated as "type material" in the sense ofthe ICZN (historically regulating the nomenclature of heterotrophic protists including amoebae), they served as DNA sources for already described species on the eve of the molecular studies and facilitated getting their sequences without the need of reisolation and redoing the full investigation to identify a strain.
This way the first investigations of molecular phylogeny of Amoebozoa were performed (Sims et al., 1999; Amaral Zettler et al., 2000; Bolivar et al., 2001; Fahrni et al., 2003; Peglar et al., 2003; Mullen et al., 2005). These studies led to an establishment of the new system ofAmoebozoa combining structural and molecular characters (Cavalier-Smith et al., 2004; Smirnov et al., 2005, 2011). Furthermore, in fact, a new standard of taxonomic studies was set with the need to combine morphological and molecular evidence in the descriptions of new taxa as well as taxonomic revisions (e.g. Smirnov et al., 2002, 2007, 2017; Dykovâ et al., 2005a, 2008a, 2011; Kudryavtsev et al., 2011a, 2011b, 2014, 2018, 2019, 2021; Kudryavtsev and Pawlowski, 2013, 2015; Volkova and Kudryavtsev, 2017; Kudryavtsev and Volkova, 2018, 2020; Volkova et al., 2019; Lotonin and Smirnov, 2020; Udalov et al., 2020a, 2020b). The majority of these and many other works published during this period included strains of Amoebozoa of marine, brackish and freshwater origin. Molecular taxonomy further developed into phylogenomic studies (Cavalier-Smith et al., 2015, 2016; Kang et al., 2017; Tekle et al., 2016; Tekle and Wood, 2017) that led to an emendation and
creation of the current system of Amoebozoa (Adl et al., 2019).
Another line of development of the amoebae molecular studies included attempts to elaborate DNA-barcoding tools for species identification, refinement of the species concept in Amoebozoa and setting the basis for the metabarcoding approach to detect amoebae in the natural communities. This started first with attempts to evaluate the usefulness of 18S rRNA gene for this purpose (Sims et al., 2002; Smirnov et al., 2002), continued with ITS-5.8S locus (Caraguel et al., 2007; Dykova et al., 2005), and further, with attempts to apply a standard animal DNA barcode (Hebert et al., 2003), partial sequence of mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit 1 (Coxl) gene, as a barcode for amoebae (e.g. Nassonova et al., 2010; Pawlowski et al., 2012; Tekle, 2014; Geisen et al., 2014; Zlatogursky et al., 2016). Further development of the research on this topic goes in the direction of finding and evaluating the Amoebozoa-specific barcodes, the markers derived within Amoebozoa with low degree of paralogy and enough variability to be able to discriminate between species (Bondarenko et al., 2017; Tekle and Wood, 2018).
The last direction of research on marine Amoebozoa that deserves to be mentioned here separately, is the investigations of marine amoebae that host a kinetoplastid symbiont within their cytoplasm named Perkinsela amoebae (Hollande, 1980) or Perkinsela amoebae-like organism (PLO, Dykova et al., 2008b). Three genera — Paramoeba Schaudinn, 1896, Neoparamoeba Page, 1987, and Janickina Chatton, 1953 — belong to this group that in the current system is member of the Dactylopodida (Adl et al., 2019), and the monophyly of this clade has been recently confirmed with molecular data (Volkova and Kudryavtsev, 2021). A specific interest in this group of marine taxa has deve-loped as their members were frequently reported as parasites of marine invertebrates. The very first case of this parasitism (in species later included in the genus Janickina) was reported with the discovery of this group as parasites of Chaetognatha (Grassi, 1880), and later more hosts for these amoebae were identified, such as blue crab Callinectes sapidus (Sprague and Beckett, 1966, 1968; Sprague et al., 1969), sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis (Jones, 1985; Jones and Scheibling, 1985), lobster Homarus americanus (Mullen et al., 2005) and various fishes, including farmed salmonids where they cause amoebic gill disease, or AGD (reviewed in Nowak and Archibald, 2018; English and Lima,
2020). A practical importance ofthis group caused a large number of publications on its diversity, biology and molecular phylogeny, including accumulation of a considerable number of sequence data that may be further used for understanding the biodiversity and evolution of Amoebozoa in general.
Changes in taxonomy of the naked lobose amoebae
Although many amoeba species have been described in the end of 19th and beginning of 20th centuries (e.g. Korotneff, 1879; Leidy, 1879; Penard, 1890, 1902; Schaudinn, 1896; Cash and Hopkinson, 1905, 1909), the taxonomy of this group has been remaining unstable since that time and almost until recently. The main obstacle for the construction of acceptable system was the nature of morphological characters of amoebae: mainly a dynamic body shape changing with time as the cell performs its activities. Few constant structures visible with light microscopy are the nucleus and cytoplasmic inclusions that do not show enough variability to allow construction of the system. Therefore, the tendency in the earlier systems of naked amoebae was on the one hand, to lump many different organisms under a single name allowing for artificial expansion of the limits of taxa, on the other hand, a single cell performing different types of activities during its life span, could be assigned to several different species based on the differences in shape. A classical example of this case is a so-called 'Amoeba radiosa', a name that was first used by Dujardin (1841) and applied to a variety of floating (free-swimming) forms adopted by different species of amoebae.
Although various genera of amoebae were being established slowly, not all species were assigned to them correctly from the very beginning, i.e. the system has been generally developing from lower to higher diversity ofthe supraspecific taxa. It was only in 1926 that the first successful attempt to formalize the taxonomic characters used for naked lobose amoebae was made (Schaeffer, 1926). Further development of the system followed the trend set by Schaeffer. With the development of the theories describing amoeboid movement mechanisms (Mast, 1926), the cytological basis was established for further analysis and application ofthe characters used in the system. Therefore, a morphological classification of amoebae was developed based on the types and activities of pseudopodia and modes of movement
(Bovee and Jahn, 1965, 1966; Jahn and Bovee, 1965; Jahn et al., 1974; Bovee and Sawyer, 1979). A similar morphological approach was developed by F.C. Page that, however, in later years heavily relied on electron microscopic characters not used by Bovee and his coauthors (Goodfellow et al., 1974; Page, 1978, 1979a, 1979b, 1979c, 1980a, 1980b, 1980c, 1981a, 1981b, 1983a, 1983b, 1985; Page and Blakey, 1979; Page and Baldock, 1980; Page and Willumsen, 1980, 1983; Page and Kalinina, 1984). It was finally Page's system (Page, 1976a, 1976b, 1987, 1988, 1991) that became most widely accepted and used in practice until the beginning of the molecular systematic approach, while the general system of unicellular eukaryotes adopted in that time (Levine et al., 1980) was an attempt to integrate the systems of Page, and Bovee and Jahn. In later manuals, Page's system was mostly accepted, sometimes with further modifications. For example, Rogerson and Patterson (2002) grouped all naked lobose amoebae into three orders. Two of them (Euamoebida and Leptomyxida) were those used by Page, while the third one (order Centramoebida) was introduced by these authors to accommodate families Acanthamoebidae and Stereomyxidae, and it has been in use until now, although its composition changed (Adl et al., 2019).
The development of molecular phylogeny of lobose amoebae started with single-gene trees based on the small-subunit (SSU) rRNA gene analyses (Bolivar et al., 2001; Peglar et al., 2003) followed by a simultaneous analyses of SSU rRNA and actin (Fahrni et al., 2003) with the further transition to the multigene analysis based mainly on the transcriptomic and, where available, genomic data (Cavalier-Smith et al., 2015, 2016; Kang et al., 2017; Tekle and Wood, 2017). Attempts to integrate molecular data with morphological analysis led to a creation ofthe modern classification ofAmoebozoa (Cavalier-Smith et al., 2004; Smirnov et al., 2005, 2011) that was later incorporated into the global classification of eukaryotes (Adl et al., 2019).
Among the persisting taxonomic problems of Amoebozoa is the lack of apomorphies for some clades that consistently appear in the trees, and poor support for several deep nodes. Yet, the current consensus system seems to be reasonably established; its synopsis for the clades including marine and brackish water species down to the genus level is provided in Table 1. Essentially this system uses the results ofthe phylogenomic study by Kang et al. (2017) including partly the taxa names proposed by Smirnov et al. (2011), and Cavalier-
Smith et al. (2016). By contrast to the earlier classifications, this system has no formal taxonomic ranges, therefore it has the potential of expansion to as many hierarchical levels as needed, when new phylogenetic lineages are introduced. At the same time this system may look "flat" in comparison to the previous ones, as no intermediary hierarchical levels are introduced for some monotypic clades.
Notes on species concept and species problem in amoebae
Data on biodiversity accumulated during the previous periods of investigation and presented in the supplementary tables essentially relied on the application of the species concept and understanding of what a species is, and how to define its borders. This fundamental biological problem is especially important for protists as these organisms are (a) frequently microscopic and sometimes poor in morphological characters that show very inconsistent patterns of variation among lineages; (b) often agamous or have "hidden" sexual processes that are not necessarily coupled to reproduction, which means a reproductive species criterion is non-applicable in most cases; (c) for the majority of taxa data on geographic distribution and ecological preferences are missing. All these problems cause the inability to produce a single, consistent species concept for all protists (reviewed in Boenigk et al., 2011). The mentioned problems are especially significant for amoeboid protists including Amoebozoa, as the majority of taxa in this group demonstrate a changeable cell shape without any permanent external structures, therefore, very few morphological characters were available for the researchers before the introduction of electron microscopy and molecular methods. In fact, for most of amoeba species established before the first quarter of the 20th century, the morphology was usually described in a very inconsistent way. While the descriptions were often very detailed and precise, the sets of characters that the researchers paid attention to varied significantly depending on the condition of cells and their physiological states. Moreover, justifications of identification by comparison of the recorded characters with previous publications were performed in very few cases, while many authors just applied either previously published names, or claimed that the studied species were not similar to any described before, and therefore deserved a new name.

In fact, a similar approach was in most cases used by Schaeffer (1926) who did not discuss a degree of divergence of his 39 new species from the previously described ones, but he established the characters on which the morphological description of an amoeba species should be based. In particular, characters of the locomotive form set as a standard for species description allowed to overcome the problem of lack of permanent cell shape and get a significant amount of data from light microscopic observations. Further addition of nuclear division patterns and electron microscopy led to elaboration of a morphological species concept defined by F.C. Page for practical reason ofidentification as follows: "a subgroup of a genus sharing characters which make it identifiable and indicate that its members (strains, populations) are significantly more similar to each other than to other subgroups" (Page, 1988, p. 5). In practice, all possible structural characters
could be found useful to distinguish morphospecies of amoebae. Apart from the locomotive form, these could be floating forms, nuclear structure, cyst structure, and cell coat ultrastructure (reviewed in Smirnov and Brown, 2004). At the same time, in the lack of sequencing techniques, biochemical and physiological characters were not considered widely applicable for identification from the practical point of view (Page, 1988).
The body ofdata on taxonomy and identification ofnaked lobose amoebae grew based on this approach throughout the 20th century as shown in the previous section. In particular, the morphospecies concept allowed a re-isolation and identification of different species from remote habitats and over long time spans (e.g. Bovee, 1965; Page, 1979a, 1979b; Kudryavtsev, 1999, 2000; Smirnov, 1999a). This approach even allowed Page (1976c) to perform a comparison ofthe species composition from habitats
in Great Britain and Atlantic coast of the United States and identify at least five common marine species from both regions.
Development of DNA sequencing as a tool for systematics of amoebae in the beginning of the 21st century has made a picture of the species diversity and species structure much more complex. On the one hand, sequencing (including a DNA barcoding approach; Hebert, 2003) should allow a more precise and clear definition of the borders between species (initiated by Nassonova et al., 2010). It was expected that getting the sequence data from the independently isolated morphologically identical strains of amoebae and their comparison with sequence data from related morphologically different strains, would allow setting a threshold in the genetic distance between sequences to enable a distinction between species by comparison of their sequences (Nassonova et al., 2010). In reality, after getting a representative set of molecular (initially SSU rRNA gene) data from a number of related species, e.g. of the genus Vannella, it became clear that the patterns of variation between sequence data do not match the patterns of morphological variation between morphospecies (Smirnov et al., 2007). In some cases clearly different morphospecies demonstrated almost identical SSU rRNA genes. A similar situation occurred later in the genus Cochliopodium where the morphospecies concept was seemingly clearly set due to the presence of ultrastructurally complex scales on the plasma membrane surface (Bark, 1973). In spite of this, sequence data analysis revealed molecular identity between different morphospecies defined on the basis of a scale structure and initially designated with different names (Geisen et al., 2014; Tekle, 2014; Tekle and Wood, 2018; Kudryavtsev et al., 2021). Moreover, a considerable variability of the SSU rRNA gene even within a clonal culture (usually explained by intragenomic variability; Zlatogursky et al., 2016; Kudryavtsev and Gladkikh, 2017) makes it difficult to apply this marker alone for distinction of species. On the other hand, in the molecular studies of Paramoeba and Neoparamoeba multiple SSU rRNA gene sequences with differences in up to 53 base pairs per ca. 2000 are assigned to the same species name Neoparamoeba pemaquidensis (Dykova et al., 2005b). These facts led Smirnov et al. (2007) to a statement that "In the absence ofknowledge about amoeba sexuality and applicability or otherwise of the biological species concept, defining amoeba species is at present a matter of convenience. Our
experience here indicates that a combination of microscopic and sequence data is more powerful than either alone, but it remains a matter of opinion just where to place species boundaries." (Smirnov et al., 2007, p. 308).
The described problems initiated attempts to elaborate the barcoding approach to identification of amoebae and find an appropriate molecular marker for this purpose. So far, a subunit 1 of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase gene (Coxl) was found to be the best candidate barcode for several genera like Vannella (Nassonova et al., 2010), Korotnevella (Zlatogursky et al., 2016), and Cochliopodium (Geisen et al., 2014; Tekle, 2014), however, a reference database of this marker and its practical application for species identification are still at their infancy. Only few genera of naked Amoebozoa are represented by multiple species in the reference Cox1 databases. The only clades of amoebae where all known genera have their Cox1 sequences available are Dactylopodida (Kudryavtsev and Pawlowski, 2015; Zlatogursky et al., 2016; Kudryavtsev et al., 2018, 2020; English et al., 2019; Udalov et al., 2019, 2020; Volkova et al., 2019; Kudryavtsev and Volkova, 2020) and Himatismenida (Kudryavtsev, 2012; Tekle, 2014; Kudryavtsev et al., 2021). Members of other clades include Vannella and Ripella among vannellids (Nassonova et al., 2010; Kudryavtsev and Gladkikh, 2017; Kudryavsev et al., 2019) and several genera of Tubulinea (Copromyxaand Saccamoeba; Kostka et al., 2017). Reference data for other clades are still largely missing. Two problems currently prevent an accumulation of reference data on this perspective DNA barcode. One of them is the lack of universal primers that would reliably amplify this marker in all or nearly all amoebozoans. The standard animal primers (Folmer et al., 1994) work well in many, but not all groups. For example, no Cox1 sequence data could be obtained for the dactylopodid genera Paramoeba and Neoparamoeba before specific primers were designed based on the mitochondrial genome sequence obtained using NGS approach (Volkova et al., 2019). Another problem is the lack ofreference datasets with multiple species that make researchers believe that sequencing and analysis of the Cox1 gene in routine descriptions ofnew species is redundant once the SSU rRNA gene sequence is available. This approach significantly slows down the accumulation ofreference sequences. Therefore, we suggest that the standard species descriptions in Amoebozoa must be accompanied with at least
attempts to amplify and sequence Cox1 gene together with a standard SSU rRNA, as this will facilitate an accumulation of a reference database for DNA barcoding.
Anyway, currently available results ofthe molecular analysis of diversity within morphospecies have shown an extensive cryptic diversity in amoebae. Already the first attempt to try DNA barcoding on members of the genus Vannella revealed multiple Cox1 gene sequences in a morphospecies V. simplex (Nassonova et al., 2010). Furthermore, several cryptic species were identified later among marine amoebae. For example, members of the genus Cunea Kudryavtsev and Pawlowski, 2015 are three independently isolated species that were found in deep-sea benthos in Atlantic Ocean, sublittoral benthos in the Red Sea, and brackish continental spring isolated from the ocean (Kudryavtsev and Pawlowski, 2015; Kudryavtsev and Volkova, 2020). All these species are identical in light and electron microscopic characters, but differ in their gene sequences, biotopes and ecological preferences, therefore are described as separate cryptic species. However, in the pre-molecular era, these strains would be easily assigned to the same nominal species that would be considered as having a broad geographical distribution. Accumulating evidence shows that the degree of cryptic speciation may be high in amoebae. Apart from the above-mentioned data, there were recently cases among Thecamoeba spp. (Mesentsev and Smirnov, 2019; Mesentsev et al., 2020) and Vexillifera spp. (Kudryavtsev et al., 2020). These data suggest that the real diversity of Amoebozoa in the natural habitats may be significantly underestimated, and calls for caution in the taxonomic conclusions on identity of the newly isolated strains with previously described species. In particular, a comparison of full datasets of new and previously described strains including available morphological and molecular data is needed for a reliable conclusion on identification. In case the type strains are lost, and not all data for comparison are available, it is highly desirable to perform re-isolation attempts from the same or at least similar biotopes as in the original descriptions of the species. As the knowledge on these biotopes and their conditions are of crucial importance for such studies, we composed an interactive map for the isolation sites of different species of marine and brackish water Amoebozoa based on the published data. This map is based on Google Maps application, and is available through the following link: https://

Salinity: one of the key environmental factors and its influence on marine amoebae
The environmental salinity is long recognized as a key factor that influences the biology and distribution of organisms in marine environment. There are different levels of salinity (usually defined in ppt or %o indicating g of total salts per kg of solution; Pawlowicz, 2013) of natural water bodies on the Earth. They are usually distinguished into freshwater (below 0.5 ppt), brackish water (5—30 ppt), saline (30—50 ppt) and brine (over 50 ppt). The average salinity of the oceanic seawater is about 35 ppt. Consequently, the organisms inhabiting water bodies with different degrees of mineralization are usually classified into freshwater, brackish and marine species. Generally, the most important for the distribution and physiology of the living organisms is the concept of critical salinity and horohalinicum (Khlebovich, 1968; Khlebovich and Abramova, 2000) that is defined as the salinity range between 5 and 8 ppt where a significant shift in ionic composition of solution occurs in transition between freshwater and marine habitats (i.e. typical freshwater and marine faunas). This threshold value is important, because it serves as the border between the two faunas. A "species minimum" is considered to be a characteristic feature of the habitats with this level of salinity (Remane, 1934), although this concept is recently questioned (Telesh et al., 2011). A general analysis of the relationships between the biological communities and salinity of their environment is far beyond the scope of this review. Here, we only would like to provide a brief overview ofwhat is known by now for marine, brackish water and hypersaline amoebae in view of their diversity, ecology and distribution in relation to salinity.
Analysis of the literature shows that in fact very little attention was paid to the relationships of marine amoebae species to environmental factors, in particular, salinity. This may be due to the fact that in most cases amoebae are difficult to observe directly in the natural samples, and can only be found by enrichment cultivation in partly artificial conditions. This means different species that grow in culture are not necessarily those that constitute an active community in a given biotope at the moment
of sampling (Smirnov, 2007), therefore data on the diversity of amoebae from a given sample isolated using given conditions do not necessarily reflect the true species diversity in a given biotope (Smirnov, 2003). Moreover, different methods are known that seemingly yield the most effective species recovery from marine biotopes using enrichment cultivation. For example, Page (1983a) recommends diluting full-strength seawater to 75% ofthe original to yield a higher species diversity. Yet, the question of how salinity factor limits the distribution and diversity of amoebae in the natural habitats is one of the key in biogeography of marine Amoebozoa in general.
In the most studies where this question was addressed, the range of salinity tolerance of cultured amoebae was experimentally determined. Unfortunately, until now there were no attempts to define a standard set of experimental techniques for these measurements, and the statement by Page that "The method needs further development, including quantification." (Page, 1983a, p. 13) is valid until now. One of the pioneering studies on the influence of salinity on marine amoebae was performed by Schaeffer (1926) who reported the direct observations of the influence of diluted seawater on marine amoebae describing the immediate effect of the seawater dilution. The question remains whether the results of these experiments may be extrapolated on the long-term effect of salinity on the population of a given species and its distribution. Further experimental studies of the influence of different salinities on cell physiology were performed on Vannella (as Flabellula) mira (Hopkins, 1938), and an ability to tolerate different salt concentrations from ca. 1.7 to 350 ppt was determined. Later, salinity tolerance experiments on different cultures ofmarine and aestuarine lobose amoebae were mainly performed along with their taxonomic description by Page (1971a, 1971b, 1974, 1983), Sawyer (1975a, 1975b, 1975c), Smirnov (1995, 2001; Smirnov et al., 2002), Hauer et al. (2001), Anderson et al. (2003), Kudryavtsev and Smirnov (2006), Cole et al. (2010), Kudryavtsev and Volkova (2018, 2020), and Kudryavtsev et al. (2019, 2020). Although these works provide some useful information on the salinity tolerance of certain amoeba species, the experimental methods based on inoculation of the cultures in different salinities and obervations of subsequent growth are not consistent between these publications and are rather qualitative than quantitative. Therefore additional studies have to be performed to set up a really reproducible and
quantifiable method of salinity tolerance testing, as well as get a reliable dataset on the tolerance ranges of marine and brackish water amoeba species. Until now, some quantitative experiments to evaluate the growth rates of the naked amoebae cultures depending on the salinity level were performed by Hauer and Rogerson (2005a) and Cowie and Hannah (2006). The amoebae studied, were isolated from the continental and partly hypersaline Salton Sea, biotopes on the coast of Florida, and intertidal habitats in the Kames Bay (North Sea) where salinity was fluctuating.
Another approach to experimental investigations of relationships between brackish and fresh water amoebae faunas was an experiment by Smirnov (2007) that demonstrated a presence of a hidden community of freshwater amoebae in a brackish biotope. In the current state of research, this approach can be successfully coupled with sequencing of environmental DNA to get a fuller picture of the community not influenced by cultivation bias. Along with experimental research to determine how the environmental salinity limits the distribution of different species in the environment, an important point is the cell physiological mechanisms that provide an adaptation of amoebae to different salinity levels, about which virtually nothing is known yet.
To summarize a current situation in our knowledge of the salinity tolerance ofvarious marine and brackish water amoebae, we can mention, that there are fractions of euryhaline and stenohaline species, as well as some typical freshwater species that may be isolated from brackish water biotopes (Page, 1970a; Garstecki and Arndt, 2000; Smirnov, 2007). At the same time it is believed that marine species cannot be isolated from the true freshwater environments, and this was the reason why Page (1988) established a species Vannella cirrifera (Frenzel, 1892) to accommodate a freshwater strain that he previously identified as V. mira (Schaeffer, 1926). The main reason for this was that V. mira was a marine species, and its isolation from a freshwater environment violated a general beliefthat no marine amoebae can be isolated from fresh water (Page, 1988). However, as shown later, the use of the name V. cirrifera was probably not justified by Page, while V. mira was finally correctly redescribed as a marine species with establishment of the neotype (Smirnov 2002). The ways how salinity limits the distribution areas for different species, the degrees of ecological plasticity, as well as mechanisms of adaptation to different salinity values are largely unknown for Amoebozoa.
A synopsis of the current names of marine Amoebozoa
Preliminary notes on the structure of tables and
data provided
The tables below are intended to provide some pieces of data on currently known species ofmarine naked Amoebozoa from the previously published literature, and to serve as a guide and archive of this literature. We included as many previously published species names as possible, as well as designations of unnamed strains where relevant. The species names (column "Species") are provided in their published form, under those genera where they were included most recently (i. e. in a currently accepted combination). Within the frames of this paper, we do not intend to evaluate either validity of certain genera and species or ability to recognize them in case of reisolation. Hence, the collection of species names is intended to be as full as possible. However, the reader is strongly advised against considering all these names as valid and applicable. In particular, some of these species, especially those described only before 1960s using only light microscopy may be difficult to identify in future based on only original descriptions provided. Therefore, evaluation of diversity based on these data should be performed with caution (see also Smirnov and Brown, 2004). Comments on the composition and status of the listed genera in marine/brackish water biotopes are provided with each table.
The column "Initial description" contains references to the works where the species name appeared for the first time and that constitute a publication in the sense of ICZN. The column "Redescription(s) and earlier synonyms (ifpresent)" provides references to the publications where the species was transferred into the genus where it is currently accommodated, and previous names under which the species were published initially. Cultured or preserved strains that are assigned to a given species are listed to the best of our knowledge under the column "Strains if available". The following conventions are accepted in this column: "+" after strain designation indicates that the strain is lost; (T) indicates type strain (by which we mean here the strain that was used for species description, regardless of whether it was designated as "type" in the publication itself). Abbreviations of the culture collections preceding accession numbers are as follows: ATCC=Americn Type Culture Collection;
CC = Culture Collection ofCryopreserved Strains of the Institute of Parasitology, Biology Centre of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic; CCAP = Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa (UK); CCM = Culture Collection of Microorganisms at the Research Park of Saint-Petersburg State University (Russia); CCZ = Culture Collection of Protists of the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences (Russia); SAUT = culture collection of the School ofAquaculture, University of Tasmania (Australia). The column "Habitat" lists the habitats where the species was found. Several different habitats may be listed with appropriate reference if more than one strain was studied (in the same or different publications). We attempted to indicate, as far as possible, the following data: biotope with environmental metadata where available and geographic location with coordinates (in the majority of cases, the coordinates had to be deduced from the descriptions of locations, hence they are indicated approximately). "Salinity tolerance range" provides limits of salinity tolerance range reported in the cited papers. We indicated where possible, whether the limits are based on growth or survival experiments. The column "Data available" cites literature containing different types of data on a species. Conventions are as follows: "LM" indicates light microscopic data available including drawings and/or micrographs; "EM" indicates electron microscopic data (transmission and/or scanning electron microscopy); "Seq" indicates single-gene sequences, besides citation, we provide names of the genes and GenBank accession numbers; "Tr" indicates accession number for available transcriptomic data, while "G" is reserved for genome sequences.
Tubulinea, Elardia, Euamoebida (Table 2).
Amoeba Bory de St. Vincent, 1822. In spite of numerous descriptions, especially in the older works, no modern evidence of isolation of any species of this genus (with its modern diagnosis) from marine or brackish water habitats exist. The last brackish water organisms described as species of Amoeba and not subsequently transferred into other genera were isolated by Kufferath (1952). All species names provided here should either be reclassified or invalidated in future.
Metachaos Schaeffer, 1926. This monotypic genus has never been re-isolated since the description by Schaeffer (1926).

Trichamoeba Fromentel, 1874. The only brackish-water species that may be classified in this genus according to its modern diagnosis, was described as Saccamoeba admirata Goodkov and Bu-ryakov, 1987 (A. Goodkov, pers. comm), and is listed here under Saccamoeba (Table 2), because no formal transfer has been done yet. The species currently listed under Trichamoeba may need to be reclassified in future.
Saccamoeba Frenzel, 1892. One of the two marine species of Saccamoeba probably belongs to Trichamoeba.
Hartmannella Alexeieff, 1912. The taxonomic composition ofthis genus has recently been modified by the transfer of H. cantabrigiensis into the genus Copromyxa (Brown et al., 2011), and the validity of Hartmannella is doubtful, because some of its previous species have been reclassified based on the molecular data (Kostka et al., 2017), and others have not been sequenced. Yet, in our opinion, it does make sense to reserve this name at least for the species listed in Supplementary Table 1 until they are re-isolated and investigated.
Nolandella Page, 1983. This genus comprises exclusively marine species, and initially was placed incertae sedis in lobose amoebae (Page, 1983a), although its members were included in Hartmannella when described for the first time (Page, 1980c). Interestingly, even after the genus Nolandella was established, one of its species, N. abertawensis, was kept in Hartmannella until formal transfer (Smirnov et al., 2011), although its sequence was available five years earlier (Kuiper et al., 2006). It was molecular analysis that placed Nolandella in the Tubulinea first (Tekle et al., 2008).
Tubulinea, Elardia, Leptomyxida (Table 3).
Flabellula Schaeffer, 1926. This genus in its current composition comprises exclusively marine amoebae, except one soil species Flabellula kudoi Singh and Hanumajah, 1979 that was never reinvestigated. Paraflabellula Page and Willumsen, 1983 is a junior synonym of Flabellula abandoned by Smirnov et al. (2017). It is noteworthy that Tyml et al. (2018) identified two distinct SSU rDNA clades, both morphologically corresponding to Flabellula.
Rhizamoeba Page, 1972. Among three named marine species (Table 3), only one was characterized using molecular data. Several species included in Trichamoeba are suspected to be members of Rhizamoeba (Smirnov et al., 2017).
Tubulinea, Corycida (Table 4).
Trichosphaerium Schneider, 1878. This is one of the most morphologically unusual genera comprising exclusively marine Amoebozoa for which a biphasic life cycle consisting of 'spicule-bearing' and 'spicule-less' generations was described by Schaudinn (1899), but never confirmed in later works. Consequently, several junior synonyms were proposed for the spicule-less forms. These names are Pontifex maximus Schaeffer, 1926 later identified as a synonym of Trichosphaerium (Page, 1983a) and Atrichosa algivora established by Cavalier-Smith et al. (2016) for spicule-less ATCC strain 40318, but invalidated later (Adl et al., 2019). It is noteworthy that all available sequence data were obtained for the spicule-less strain ATCC 40318.
Evosea, Variosea, Flamellidae (Table 5).
Flamella Schaeffer, 1926. This genus mostly comprises freshwater and soil amoebozoans (Bovee, 1956a; Fishbeck and Bovee, 1993; Michel and Smirnov, 1999; Kudryavtsev et al., 2009; Shmakova et al., 2016; Walthall et al., 2016; Glotova and Smirnov, 2017), however, its only marine species is the type one (F. magnifica Schaeffer, 1926). This species has never been reisolated since its initial description, and only one other variosean species is known from marine biotopes.
Evosea, Variosea, Holomastigida (Table 6).
Multicilia Cienkowski, 1881. A single known species of this genus is marine, and this is the second of only two known variosean species from marine biotopes.
Evosea, Eumycetozoa, Myxogastria, Columellidia
(Table 7).
Didymium Schrader, 1797. The only record of Eumycetozoa in marine biotopes is represented by this genus, and its strains isolated as endobionts of sea urchins were not identified to species (Dyková et al., 2007a).
Evosea, Cutosea (Table 8).
Cutosea comprise four monotypic genera, of which three (Armaparvus Schuler and Brown, 2018, Sapocribrum Lahr et al., 2015, and Squamamoeba Kudryavtsev and Pawlowski, 2013) are marine. This

small number of taxa found only recently, may be due to the small size of these amoebae (generally below 10 ^m) that makes them difficult to observe and isolate.
Evosea, Archamoebea, Mastigamoebida (Table 9).
Mastigamoeba Schulze, 1875. Evosea, Archamoebea, Pelobiontida (Table 10).
Mastigella Lemmermann, 1914.
A few Archamoebea reported from marine environments have never been reinvestigated using molecular methods, and their identity in some cases remais ambiguous. This poor knowledge may be due to the fact that these clades comprise anaerobic amoeboflagellates, and marine anaerobic microbi-ota is poorly studied in general.
Discosea, Flabellinia, Thecamoebida (Table 11).
Thecamoeba Schaeffer, 1926. This genus comprises freshwater, terrestrial and marine species, and its terrestrial diversity is best studied (Mesentsev and Smirnov, 2019, 2021; Mesentsev et al., 2020). However, five species were described from marine biotopes, with only morphological data available until now. We may expect the higher diversity in future if more microhabitats are surveyed.
Discosea, Flabellinia, Dermamoebida (Table 12).
Mayorella Schaeffer, 1926. After a lot of taxo-nomic perturbations (Goodkov, 1988) this genus was finally separated from morphologically similar ones based on the cell coat structure, and transferred into Dermamoebida based on the molecular data. It is noteworthy that many of its marine species have never been reinvestigated since their initial descriptions that were published before the diversity within the genus Mayorella was realized. Therefore, their generic assignment should be treated with caution.
Discosea, Flabellinia, Dactylopodida (Table 13).
Cunea Kudryavtsev and Pawlowski, 2015.
Three species of this genus were first described only recently, all from marine or continental brackish water biotopes (Kudryavtsev and Volkova, 2020). Interestingly, this is the only genus of Amoebozoa

that currently comprises only sibling species with differences only in sequence data and ecological preferences.
Korotnevella Goodkov, 1988. Most of Korotne-vella species are from freshwater, but known marine species suggest that their actual diversity may be higher.
Pseudoparamoeba Page, 1979. The known diversity of this genus is not broad at the moment; all species, except one are marine.
Vexillifera Schaeffer, 1926. The taxonomic diversity of this genus has been fully reviewed recently (Kudryavtsev et al., 2018); it is well represented in marine and freshwater bitotopes, but many of the species were studied using light microscopy only. The phylogenetic relationships within the genus reconstructed using SSU rRNA gene suggest that there are two independent deeply-branching marine clades and one derived freshwater clade within this genus (Kudryavtsev et al., 2020).
Paramoeba Schaudinn, 1896, Neoparamoeba Page, 1987, and Janickina Chatton, 1953. These genera are exclusively marine. In the morphology-based classifications, Janickina was first separated from Paramoeba to accommodate species with PLO ("parasome"), but very different, limax-like locomotive forms. After data on cell coat ultrastructure became available, Neoparamoeba was established by Page (1987) to accommodate those species with PLO ("parasome") that have no surface microscales. Page (1987) only listed N. aestuarina and N. pemaquidensis as species of Neoparamoeba. However, if the absence of surface microscales is the defining character of Neoparamoeba Page, 1987, then P. perniciosa Sprague et al., 1969 and P. invadens Jones, 1985 should also be included in this genus (discussed in Volkova et al., 2019). As this transfer was never done formally, we list these species under Paramoeba. As some of these species are parasites of fish and invertebrates that may be economically important, a considerable amount of molecular data on these amoebae has been generated recently. Phylogenetic analysis shows that the topology of this clade does not correspond to its morphological diversity. Therefore, the taxonomy of these genera requires emendation. In particular, the validity of Neoparamoeba Page, 1987 and Janickina Chatton, 1953 is debated recently. However, given the morphological and ecological heterogeneity of the clade comprising Paramoeba, Neoparamoeba, and Janickina, we provisionally retain all generic names to prevent loss of taxonomic diversity in the literature (Vokova et al., 2019; Volkova and Kudryavtsev, 2021).

Discosea, Flabellinia, Vannellida (Table 14).
Clydonella Sawyer, 1975, Lingulamoeba Sawyer, 1975, and VannellaBovee, 1965. The first two genera comprise exclusively marine species, while the third one, species from all habitats. Although validity of some of these genera was debated (Page, 1983a), they all were shown to be valid with combination of morphological and molecular data (Peglar et al., 2003; Dykova et al., 2005a). Instead, the genus Platyamoeba Page, 1969 was abandoned as a junior synonym of Vannella (Smirnov et al., 2007). As Vannella is probably one of the most frequently isolated genera of marine amoebae, the number of its unnamed marine strains is about twice as large as the number of its named marine species. Generic assignment of some species of Clydonella described earlier requires validation.
Discosea, Stygamoebida (Table 15).
Stygamoeba Sawyer, 1975, Vermistella Moran
et al. 2007. The genera Stygamoeba and Vermistella comprising only marine species are classified together (Smirnov et al., 2011; Adl et al., 2019) in spite of the fact that they branch separately in most phylogenetic and phylogenomic trees (e.g. Lahr et al., 2011; Tyml et al., 2016; Kang et al. 2017). Before the sequence data for S. regulata were obtained, Vermistella was even considered a junior synonym of Stygamoeba (Smirnov, 2009) due to a striking morphological similarity of the two genera. In the tree by Lotonin and Smirnov (2020) both genera branch together, but the taxon sampling of that tree is very limited. Clearly, a more extensive study involving more species of amoebae belonging to this morphological group is needed to determine their phylogenetic affinities and a proper place in the classification system.
Discosea, Centramoebia, Acanthopodida (Table 16).
Acanthamoeba Volkonsky, 1930, Protacanth-amoeba Page, 1981. The problem of the geographic distribution of Acanthamoeba in various environments is one of the most complicated. This genus is considered to be ubiquitous due to an ability to form robust cysts that can survive harsh environmental conditions, including salinity alterations (Page, 1983a). Therefore, many cases ofisolation offresh-water and soil species of Acanthamoeba from brackish and marine environments were reported.

These cases may be due to the stability of cysts in the seawater (Page, 1983a). Despite morphological identities to previously described species, one should bear in mind the possibilities of cryptic speciation as shown earlier in some other amoebozoans (Kud-ryavtsev and Volkova, 2020). We list here only those species initially described from marine or brackish water biotopes.
Discosea, Centramoebia, Himatismenida (Table 17).
Parvamoeba Rogerson, 1993. This genus is one of the smallest in Amoebozoa, and includes two marine species discovered in the last decades. This may be due to their small size, while the actual diversity may be larger. The type species ofthis genus was provisionally included in the Thecamoebidae based on morphology (Rogerson, 1993), but further detailed studies, including gene sequence analysis placed Parvamoeba in Himatismenida (Cole et al., 2010; Kudryavtsev, 2012; Kudryavtsev et al., 2021).
Ovalopodium Sawyer, 1980. This is an elusive genus, because its type species has never been reisolated with certainty since its initial description. Hence, it has only light microscopic images available. Because of this, a species that was added to this genus in 2011 (Kudryavtsev et al., 2011b) had to be transferred into Planopodium (Kudryavtsev et al., 2021) after it became clear that there was a higher diversity of small deeply-branching himatismenid lineages than estimated before.
Planopodium Volcker and Kudryavtsev, 2021. This genus comprises two species, of which one, P. desertum (Kudryavtsev et al., 2011), was isolated from a very weakly saline continental pond in an arid area, and initially included in Ovalopodium, while another species is freshwater. These species are different morphologically, but almost identical in gene sequence data (Kudryavtsev et al., 2021).
Cochliopodium Hertwig and Lesser, 1874. This genus with about 20 named species is known for almost 150 years already, but most of its species are from fresh water and soil. The first two marine species ofthis genus were described only by Schaeffer (1926). Only two named marine species have gene sequence data available.
Discosea, Centramoebia, Pellitida (Table 18).
Pellita Smirnov and Kudryavtsev, 2005. Pellitida were established only recently (Smirnov and Kudryavtsev, 2005; Smirnov et al., 2011), although some

members of this clade were known for a long time, like Gocevia Valkanov, 1932 and Endostelium Olive et al., 1984. Only one marine species of Pellita was isolated several times from different biotopes.
Amoebozoa incertae sedis (Table 19).
Belonocystis Rainer, 1968, Boveella Sawyer, 1975, Corallomyxa Grell, 1966, Gibbodiscus Schaef-fer, 1926, Rhabdamoeba Dunkerly, 1921, Stereo-myxa Grell, 1966, Striolatus Schaeffer, 1926, Triaenamoeba Bovee, 1953, Unda Schaeffer,1926. The listed genera are either monotypic or comprise up to four species. All of them are marine, except for Belonocystis that also comprises freshwater species. For none of them molecular data are available, therefore, their position in the system is still incertae sedis. One exception is Unda, for which a transcriptome was sequenced (Tekle et al. 2016), however, the generic identity of the sequ-enced strain is unclear.
