Hyalosphenia papilio paynei subsp. nov. – a highly conspicuous and localized Sphagnum peatland testate amoeba
Most eukaryotic microbial biodiversity is undescribed, and most species might be morphologically indistinguishable. Notable exceptions are so-called flagship species which are highly conspicuous and can therefore be used to address biogeographical questions. Here we describe Hyalosphenia papilio subsp. paynei, an arcellinid testate amoeba (Amoebozoa; Arcellinida; Hyalospheniidae) from wet hollows in two Sphagnum peatlands, one in Wales and one in Ireland. Phylogenetic analysis based on Cytochrome Coxidase subunit I (COI) sequencing places it within the lineage A of the H. papilio complex, but it differs from all 13 known H. papilio genetic lineages by its very distinctive, wider than long, morphology. The fact that such a conspicuous taxon was never reported in hundreds of studies published on Holarctic Sphagnum peatlands since Leidy’s description of H. papilio in 1874 suggests that this subspecies has not dispersed and survived beyond Britain and Ireland. Furthermore its genetic similarity to H. papilio s. str. suggests that it has recently evolved. The discovery of this new taxon calls for a more detailed analysis of the morphological, ecological and molecular diversity of the H. papilio species complex.
