A new species, Synura korshikovii sp. nov., is described from water reservoirs in the vicinities of Polisky Nature Reserve, Northern Ukraine, based on scale morphology studied by means of transmission and scanning electron microscopy. This species has three types of scales: spine-bearing oval body scales, spine-bearing prolonged transition scales and spineless ovate or circular caudal scales. All scale types are covered with hexagonal reticulum. The spine is clavate or cylindrical with flat apex terminating in a few rows of papillae-like teeth.

Mallomonas gusakovii sp. nov. is described from Vietnam based on silica-scale morphology studied by means of transmission and scanning electron microscopy. This species belongs to section Quadratae and is characterized by large and broad scales of three types with an internal reticulation, V-shaped rib and a forward projecting wing. Different types of the V-shaped rib in taxa from section Quadratae are discussed. Scales of Mallomonas gusakovii were found only in two sites in Phu Quoc Island, Southern Vietnam.

This paper describes the new species Mallomonas papuensis from a small bog pool in Papua province, Indonesia. The description is based on silica-scale morphology studied by means of transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The cells of Mallomonas papuensis are covered by three types of scales: asymmetric collar scales with forward projecting spines, rhombic body scales and oval posterior scales with short spines. The shield of all scales types lacks ornamentation. We were not able to find any specimens with bristles or isolated bristles although the small dome is visible on the collar scales. Mallomonas papuensis belongs to the section Torquatae and closely resembles M. newfoundlandicus. Distinctions from other similar taxa are discussed.

Mallomonas fimbriata, sp. nov. is described from bog pool, located in Cam Ranh Peninsula, Khanh Hoa Province, Central Vietnam. The description is based on silica-scale morphology studied by means of transmission and scanning electron microscopy. New species has 3 types of scales: oval body scales, caudal ones with robust, long, forward pointing spines and elongated, widened to distal part apical scales. Scales are thick, 3-layered, with inner reticulation. Mallomonas fimbriata and the similar M. fenestrata form a special group with unique features of scales structure close to the sections Retrorsae and Quadratae.

This paper describes two new species of Mallomonas. Mallomonas temonis was identified in the Table Mountain Plateau, South Africa; Mallomonas divida was identified in Aquitaine, France. The descriptions are based on silica-scale morphology studied by means of transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Mallomonas temonis belongs to the section Heterospinae. A scale is surrounded by a submarginal rib connected at lateral parts by a strong, more or less transversal rib. Mallomonas divida belongs to the section Torquatae. The shield of scales is covered by regularly arranged, delicate papillae and marked by one or several rows of more distinctive papillae.

Two new species, Mallomonas punctostriata sp. nov. and Mallomonas collucata sp. nov., are described from Vietnam based on silica-scale morphology studied by means of transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Both species inhabits swamp areas. Mallomonas punctostriata belongs to section Striatae. Its scales have unique transverse rows, consisting of papillae, resembling transverse ribs of members of section Striatae. Mallomonas collucata belongs to section Annulatae. This species has small scales with hexagonal reticulation on the shield. Mallomonas punctostriata was found in Phu Quoc Island (Kien Giang Province) and Cam Ranh Peninsula (Khanh Hoa Province). Mallomonas collucata has been observed only in one site on Phu Quoc Island.

A new species of Cribraria, described herein as C. bicolor, appeared in moist chamber cultures on samples of the bark of Eucalyptus sp. collected at two localities in Australia. The morphology of representative specimens was examined by light and scanning electron microscopy, and micrographs of relevant morphological details of sporocarps and spores are provided. The species has a number of distinct and unique morphological features, including a glossy bright-violet globose sporotheca and a two-colored long stalk which is bright-red over the lower one-third and light yellow or lemon-yellow over the upper two-thirds. The combination of these characteristics as well as a shallow calyculus which is dark-violet when viewed under a dissecting microscope and bright red in transmitted light when mounted in lactophenol makes C. bicolor a well-defined morphospecies when compared to all other species of Cribraria. The stability of the taxonomic characters of the species was confirmed by an examination of a number of specimens.

A new species, Encyonema oblonga Liu & Xie, is collected during a survey of the freshwater diatom flora of Manghe River, Shanxi, China. The valves of this new species are oblong with rounded apices and have the features typical of Encyonema, including complex areolae. We compare the new species with the most similar taxa, E. leei, E. leei var. sinensis and E. appalachianum and consider that  E. leei var. sinensis is the valid name.  The morphology of E. oblonga is documented with light and scanning electron microscopy.

Lowland intermittent ponds, although biologically important, are poorly studied water habitats. During the analyses of the material taken from lowland pond in Pelagonia Valley, and Vitachevo, Republic of North Macedonia, the diatom Sellaphora pelagonica sp. nov. was recorded and described based on light and scanning electron microscopy. The species is characterized by a strictly linear valve outline with parallel to slightly concave margins and broadly rounded ends, 15.0–40.0 µm long and 5.0–7.0 µm wide. These features, together with raphe structure and areolar shape are compared with several similar taxa currently ascribed to Sellaphora.

During a survey of the diatom flora of the Adegoy River (Krasnodar Territory, Russia), an unknown Fragilaria species (Bacillariophyta) was found that could not be identified using the currently available literature and here we describe it as a new species. The morphology of Fragilaria irregularis sp. nov. was studied using light and scanning electron microscopy and compared to similar species including Fragilaria deformis, F. rinoi, F. septentrionalis and Fragilariforma bicapitata. It differed from these taxa in several characters. Most observed valves showed an irregular striation pattern, a feature not observed in other species. Other important differences include valve outline (linear with parallel margins) and stria density (7–14 in 10 µm, lower compared to all other species). The new taxon has a linear valve outline with parallel to weakly convex margins, subcapitate apices and a very irregular, coarse striation pattern.

A new diatom species, Neidiomorpha dianshaniana sp. nov., found in Dianshan Lake in Shanghai, China, is described herein. The morphology of N. dianshaniana has been documented by light and scanning electron microscopy. Neidiomorpha dianshaniana valves are elliptical in outline with rostrate apices. Raphe is almost straight and filiform. The axial area is narrow and linear. The central area is small, round to transversely elliptical or irregular. Striae are slightly radiate and almost parallel near the apices. Puncta are arranged in undulating longitudinal rows. Neidiomorpha dianshaniana’s most visible feature is its lack of central constriction, in which respect it differs from the three other species in the genus Neidiomorpha.
