For the first time in the vast population of soil material investigated testate amoebae in mountain and lowland forests of Japan. An analysis of 152 samples of forest soil from each island - Honshu, Yaku, Kitadaitou-jima, Minamidaitou-jima and Kume-jima. The territory of Japan is of interest to protistology as an example of a unique island biogeography of large and small islands. It is part of the eastern part of the Holarctic. The island of Honshu comes in two biogeographic provinces - Japanese Evergreen Forest and Oriental Deciduous Forest. The most southern islands make up the local biogeographical unit: Ryukyu Archipelago. The samples found about 250 taxa of testate amoebae. We describe two new species - Deharvegia japonica and Assulina discoides.
