Solenophrya micraster, originally collected from a strip mine pond in east‐central Illinois, was established in clone cultures. From these homogeneous populations, detailed studies on the morphology and life cycle of the species were made. On the basis of the morphology established by these studies and a review of the species assigned to the genus by previous workers, emended diagnoses of genus Solenophrya Claparède and Lachmann 1859 and Solenophrya micraster Penard 1914 are proposed.
