Abstract

A small Cyclotella species (Thalassiosiraceae) from a subalpine lake Schliersee (Bavaria, Germany) is described. The species has characteristic valve morphology different from this of the other similar taxa. It differs from them especially with the presence of radially arranged ghost structures in the valve central part and with the presence and low number of transversal trabeculae inside the alveolus - maximally 6 in 1 μm. The valve morphology and ultrastructure of this taxon is described and its new name, Cyclotella hinziae, is proposed. Its valve morphology is compared and discussed with this of other similar taxa.
