dc.description.abstract | Diatom taxa in India were first documented by Ehrenberg and
subsequently many studies have focused on the Western
Ghats and Himalayan mountains while other regional
environments were rarely explored. In the current study, the
freshwater environs of the saline Lonar Crater Lake were
investigated and two new
Nitzschia species have been
described.
Nitzschia kociolekii sp. nov. and Nitzschia tripudio
sp. nov. were sampled from bird feeding ponds associated
with Lonar Lake. The morphological characters of the new
species are similar to
N. amphibia and N. frustulum but differ
in terms of striae pattern, polymorphic areolae development,
fibula and stria density. In addition, larger specimens of
N. williamsii, a recently described taxon from Bangalore wet-
lands of Peninsular India, were found in a waterfalls flowing
into Lonar Lake. All three taxa are freshwater diatoms and are
possibly endemic to Peninsular India | en_US |
