Identification is made more difficult by their microscopic size. Collections of microscopic lake fauna were made in 1892 at Lake Fertő by JÁNOS VÁNGEL. His specimens were processed by JENŐ DADAY (1897) and shown to contain eight species. Rhizopods present in the Transdanubian sphagnum marshes were treated by IMRE JACZÓ (1941).
