Abstract
A species ofChroomonasthat forms blue‐green patches in the ikaite columns in the Ikkafjord, SW‐Greenland near Iviituut, has been investigated by means of electron microscopy. It has a conspicuous eyespot, two distinct adjacent refractile bodies and a large pyrenoid. The flagellar branch of the gullet is provided with a ligula. A comparison with previously investigated species shows that this combination of characters is unique, and accordingly theChroomonasis described as a new species,C. ikaitensis. Further details of its ultrastructure and of its ecology are discussed.
