Zusammenfassung:The paper deals with the record of Pithophora roettleri (Roth) Wittrock in Ukraine. The filaments of the species were found in a pond in the Feofania Park in Kyiv, where they were present in small quantities in metaphyton in a sterile condition. The reproductive stages (akinets) which are required for identifying these filaments to the generic and species levels were obtained during storage of the selected sample under room conditions. A morphological description of the identified specimens, photomicrographs, characteristics of location are given. The general distribution of the species was analyzed. The genus Pithophora Wittrock is thermophilic, widespread in subtropics and tropics. Its growth in the temperate climate zone is atypical. Our record is the second one from the territory of Ukraine, as well as one of the northernmost locations of this species in reservoirs without artificial water heating.
