Representatives of the little known cyanobacterial coccoid genus Eucapsis Clements et Shantz have typical spherical cells, dividing regularly in three perpendicular planes in subsequent generations, and forming nearly regular microscopic cubic colonies. They are relatively rare, not forming large populations, but ecologically distinct (acidic, peaty habitats, plankton and benthos of waters). The genus contains about 30 various types, differing morphologically and ecologically, but with usually limited geographic distributions. In this article the main diacritical characters and ecology of eight Eucapsis-taxa from the western Carpathians in Slovakia are presented.
