Abstract

A new freshwater diatom species, Gomphonema adhikarii sp. nov., is described from a small road-side pool from the alpine region of Arunachal Pradesh, Eastern Himalayas, India. Detailed valve morphological features, based on both light and scanning electron microscopy, is presented and this taxon is compared with similar species. Gomphonema adhikarii has a distinct asymmetry about the apical axis and slightly bent foot pole area. The outline of the valve is slightly undulate, the valve centre is swollen and both apices are broadly rounded. This new species described from the Eastern Himalayas supports the idea of the area being rich in biodiversity, even with respect to the freshwater diatom flora.

印度喜马拉雅山脉东部的一个淡水新物种Ehrenberg

一种新的淡水硅藻，Gomphonema adhikarii sp. nov.，在印度喜马拉雅山脉东部**高山地区的一个小路边池中被描述。在光镜和扫描电镜的基础上，给出了详细的气门形态特征，并将该分类群与类似物种进行了比较。尖轴明显不对称，足极区有轻微弯曲。瓣膜的轮廓略呈波浪形，瓣膜中心肿胀，两端宽圆形。从东喜马拉雅山脉描述的这种新物种支持了该地区生物多样性丰富的观点，甚至在淡水硅藻区系方面也是如此。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
