We aimed to find a species name that would be appropriate for the organism and ideally reflect the specific morphology which could be described in general words as a flattened gourd with a constriction at the base of the neck and a hollow “keel.” We also aimed to represent the Mauri (life force) of this unique species that was named by Māori for them as kaitiaki (guardian) of Aotearoa (New Zealand).</paragraph>

<paragraph blockId="8.[122,1466,136,417]" pageId="8" pageNumber="9">1. An amoeba with a hard shell. According to the Reed Dictionary of Modern Māori, the word “amoeba” is translated as “pūora hurikē” and a “hard shell” is translated as “anga.” Combining the two with the word “whai” meaning “in possession of” leads to the name “Pūora hurikē whaianga.”</paragraph>
<paragraph blockId="8.[122,1466,136,417]" pageId="8" pageNumber="9">2. Considering that a shelled amoeba is analogous to a miniature snail, the second option was “A snail with a keellike shell.” Snail and keel being respectively translated as “ngata” and “takere,” this would then form “Ngata anga whaitakere.”</paragraph>

However, in a final discussion, Mr. Ngahiwi Apanui from the Māori Language Commission suggested that the “whai” could be dropped to shorten the name. The final chosen name was then «Angatakere», to be pronounced aeŋaetɑkɛrɛ (AN-GAH-TAH-KEH-REH).</paragraph>

Test composed of two clearly distinct parts, a subcircular, oval, or ellipsoidal, compressed posterior part (body) and a neck. The two parts separated by a deep constriction around the entire base of the neck. Sides of the neck straight to slightly concave with a bulge at the base in broad view. The margins of the neck sometimes compressed. Body almost circular. Dimensions based on 63 specimens: 53 individuals from Taranaki Maunga, North Island, four from the Old Ghost Road, South Island, and six from the Keppler Track, South Island: Length (min. averagemax.): 186208226 µm, width: 120148167 µm, pseudostome: 394450 µm. Circa 80 µm in breadth.

Brehm did not preserve any specimen, and the original type material is only represented by two simple drawings without indication of size. Because small variations in the morphology of the test can be used to distinguish closely related species, only high magnification microphotographs can be used to accurately represent a species and reliably distinguish it from taxa yet to be described (

Rolleston near Arthur's pass, New Zealand South Island) the neotype has been designated among a population from Taranaki Maunga, New Zealand's North Island. However, tests from the previous type locality and the ones from Taranaki Maunga were similar in all points. Apermanent slide has been deposited at the Natural History Museum of Neuchâtel (Switzerland) with the ID 95-1.

and that specimens from Margaret's tarn constitute a distinct species. If this were the case a new species would need to be described from Margaret's tarn, New Zealand South Island with its own type locality. The Auckland Island record is based only on microscopic observation (not illustrated) and is considered valid given the characteristic morphology. Nevertheless, it would need to be further confirmed by molecular data.
