AB One of the observed flagellates, Cryptella cyanophora Pascher, is probably the first discovery ever of this species with cyanelles after more than 80 years since its description. This species was previously classified into the cryptophycean genus Chroomonas Hansgirg (see Discussion), which is why the observations of two common species, Chroomonas nordstedtii Hansg. and Ch. caudata Geitler, from natural water bodies are also presented and the theory of their cytological evolution is discussed. Similar uncertainty is associated with the origin of blue-green chloroplasts of some dinoflagellates, two species of which (from Czech waters) are presented, namely Gymnodinium aeruginosum Stein and Amphidinium amphidinioides (Geitler) Schiller. Again the theory of the origin of their chloroplast is discussed. The indubitable syncyanosis is demonstrated on Glaucocystis nostochinearum Itzigsohn.
