The record of the diatom Cymbella australica (A.Schmidt) Cl. in water bodies of Kyiv (Ukraine)

The diatom Cymbella australica was found in some water bodies in research of the algaeflora of Kyiv. The Kyiv population of this species had some discrepancies with the diagnosis (Krammer, 2002) of cell size and coarse structure, which brought it closer to C. tumida (Bréb.) Van Heurck. However, the...

Description
Summary:The diatom Cymbella australica was found in some water bodies in research of the algaeflora of Kyiv. The Kyiv population of this species had some discrepancies with the diagnosis (Krammer, 2002) of cell size and coarse structure, which brought it closer to C. tumida (Bréb.) Van Heurck. However, the outlines of the sash clearly separated the Kyiv population of C. australica from C. tumida. It is proposed to expand the diagnosis of C. australica and to consider cell outlines as the only discriminatory feature between C. australica and C. tumida.
