Meisterfeldia is a genus of arcellinid testate amoebae erected in 2016 that unites several new species as well as old species previously found in the genus Cryptodifflugia.[1][3] Five of the newly described species were first found and isolated from subarctic tundra soil surrounding a river near Chokurdakh, Russia,[1] while the last one, described in 2021, was recovered from tree hollows in Moscow.[2]
