Abstract
A new monoraphid diatom genus, Platesiberia gen. nov., is described based on a detailed morphological investigation using light and scanning electron microscopy. The genus is based upon P. rhombicolanceolata Kulikovskiy & Lange-Bertalot and includes Platessa baicalensis Kulikovskiy & Lange-Bertalot, both species previously described from ancient Lake Baikal. Platesiberia gen. nov. is characterized by having biseriate striae on the raphe valves with uniseriate striae on the rapheless valves. Morphology of striae is helpful to distinguish the genus Platesiberia from Platessa and other monoraphid genera, and we provide a comparison of the new Baikalian genus with other freshwater monoraphid groups.
