Abstract

Testate amoebae belong to the single celled organisms classified under protist fauna characterized by developing complex covering of outer chitin shells; they are renowned as bio indicators owing to their high reactivity to any change in the environment. This communication reports 2 new additions of moss inhabitant micro fauna to Indian testate fauna viz., Arcella costata Ehrenberg, 1847 and Trinema lenticularis Siemensma et Lucow, 2025, from Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, Kerala.
