Dictyostelid cellular slime molds (dictyostelids) are important soil microorganisms that feed mostly on bacteria in the soil and leaf litter layer. The Russian Far East is the easternmost part of Russia and thus is located in the Middle East of Siberia. In September 2018, 14 samples of mixed soil/humus were collected from the most southeastern portion of the Russian Far East, including Sakhalin Island, Ussuriysk and Vladivostok, and then processed for dictyostelids. Seven species in four genera were recovered. Four of these species (Cavenderia fasciculata, Heterostelium tenuissimum, Dictyostelium longosporum and Polysphondylium patagonicum) were recorded for the first time from Russia, and one species (H. multibrachiatum sp. nov.) in described herein as new to science.
