SUMMARYThe pellicle of five species of Euglena, belonging to three different groups (Catilliferae, Radiatae and Serpentes), was studied by transmission electron microscopy, in order to see if pellicular morphology could be taken as a valuable character to differentiate the groups. The data demonstrate that pellicular ultrastructure is not constant within the groups, and can therefore be considered a differential character only at the level of species.
