1895, author uncertain, Revue Mycologique, page 68:Si nous nous demandons maintenant quelle est dans la classification la place de cet organisme amœbien que M. Dangeard a nommé Sappina pedata, nous sommes amenés à conclure que ses caractères le rapprochent à la fois des Myxomycètes et des Rhizopodes ; il existe précisément un groupe, celui des Acrasiées, qui établit le passage aux Rhizopodes.- If we wonder now in which place in the classification is this amoeban organism which Mr. Dangeard named Sappina pedata, we are led to conclude that its characteristics bring it close to both Myxomycetes and Rhizopodes; there exists precisely one group, that of Acrasids, which established the passage to the Rhizopodes.
