Abstract

In 2003 during a biological survey carried out on the shallow lakes located on the northern Iberian plateau, a diatom community dominated by an unknown Eolimna sp. was found as an epiphyte on Chara connivens in Lake Constanzana (Spain). Detailed light and scanning electron microscopy observations allowed the description of this new species. Differential diagnostic criteria with respect to similar taxa, especially E. archibaldii J.C. Taylor & Lange-Bertalot, together with ecological implications of this finding, are briefly discussed.
