Abstract
ABSTRACT Despite being one of the dominant groups in the diatom flora of our rivers and lakes, the correct taxonomic identity of several Fragilaria Lyngb. taxa (formerly in the genus Synedra Ehrenb.) is often blurred by insufficient knowledge of the different morphological types. The present paper illustrates and discusses several former Synedra taxa using both light and scanning electron microscope observations. Based on the morphological analysis, Synedra deformis W.Sm. is transferred to the genus Fragilaria as Fragilaria deformis (W.Sm.) Van de Vijver & Ector, comb. nov. A second Synedra species, S. vaucheriae var. deformis Grunow, is likewise investigated but proved a later synonym of F. pectinalis (O.F.Müll.) Lyngb. The morphological results are compared with the (type) material of several similar Fragilaria species such as Fragilaria joachimii Kahlert, F. vaucheriae (Kütz.) J.B.Petersen, F. pectinalis and F. candidagilae Almeida, C.Delgado, Novais & S.Blanco. Notes on the ecology of the different species are added.
期刊介绍:
Cryptogamie is a fast-track and peer-reviewed journal of international scope publishing in English only. It accepts original papers and review articles on the taxonomy, biology and ecology of all cryptogams. An issue of Cryptogamie may be devoted to a single topic, under the responsibility of guest editor(s). All articles published in Cryptogamie are compliant with the different nomenclatural codes. A copyright assignment will be signed by the authors before publication.
Cryptogamie, Algologie accepts articles on systematics as well as ecology and evolution of any kind of algae (including Cyanobacteria).
