Abstract: Twenty-three species of naked amoebae of 3 classes, 11 families and 16 genera were found in soils of the forest-and-steppe zone of Ukraine. The most common species were Vahlkampfia sp. (2), Vahlkampfia sp. (1), D. mycophaga, H. vermiformis, T. striata, R. platypodia, M. cantabri-giensis, Vexillifera sp., Cochliopodium sp. (1), Acanthamoeba sp. (1). The species with least occurrence were Polychaos sp., T. similis, T. terricola, M. viridis, Rhizamoeba sp. (1). Highest species diversity of naked amoebae was recorded for soils of forests and shrubs, least for soils of meadows. All of the found amoebae species belong to 12 morphotypes.
