Abstract
A species of Cyclotella with an elliptical valve outline has been found in several Tasmanian lakes and is herein described and named C. tasmanica nov. sp. Morphologically, it is similar to C. stelligera and, to a lesser extent, to C. radiosa. The valve has coarse, clearly alveolate, marginal striae and a central rosette. Unlike other elliptical forms, the central area is always more or less circular. The nearest similar species is C. rhomboideo-elliptica.
