Abstract:
Miraltia throndsenii gen.nov., sp.nov., a small centric diatom from Gulf of Naples coastal waters, is described. The ultrastructural features of the species are very similar to those reported for the family Chaetoceraceae. However, a new generic name is proposed due to the presence of a single seta per valve. A description of the resting spores, presumably formed within auxospores, is also given. The phylogenetic position of the new genus within the family Chaetoceraceae is discussed.
