Species Willaertia magna De Jonckheere, Dive, Pussard & Vickerman, 1984
- Willaertia magna De Jonckheere, J.F., Dive, D.G., Pussard, M. & Vickerman, K. 1984. Willaertia magna gen.nov., sp. nov. (Vahlkampfiidae), a thermophilic amoeba found in different habitats. Protistologica 20: 5-13 [validity depends on the uncertainty about identity of two species described earlier, Trimastigamoeba philippinensis Whitmore 1911 and Tetramastigamoeba hoarei Singh & Hanumaiah 1977 (see Robinson et al (1989) for discussion)].
- Trimastigamoeba philippinensis Whitmore, E.R. 1911. Studien uber Kulturamoben aus Manila. Archiv für Protistenkunde 23: 81-95 [nomen nudum; Whitmore's description is inadequate to determine whether Trimastigamoeba is the same organism as Willaertia or one of the Naegleria spp. that have more variable flagellar number; Bovee's illustrations of amoebae and flagellates he assigned to this sp. do not clarify this question (see Robinson et al. 1989 for discussion)].
- Tetramastigamoeba hoarei Singh, B.N. & Hanumaiah, V. 1977. A new amoebo-flagellate, Tetramastigamoeba hoarei n.g., n.sp. Protozoology 3: 183-191 [nomen nudum; Singh & Hanumaiah's description is inadequate to determine whether Tetramastigamoeba is the same organism as Willaertia (in which case it would be the valid name) or one of the Naegleria spp. that are initially tetraflagellate and can divide in the flagellate stage (see Robinson et al. 1989 for discussion)].
