Sellaphora vincentiana sp. nov. (Figs 10 AU-BJ; 14 A-F) HOLOTYPE. — Canada. Québec, Lake 22AA, 56°33’24”N, 76°28’47”W, 128 m a.s.l., 22.VIII.2015, D. Antoniades (microscope slide designated as the holotype, holo-, CANA [CANA 129481]). ISOTYPE. — Canada. Québec, Lake 22AA, 56°33’24”N, 76°28’47”W, 128 m a.s.l., 22.VIII.2015, D. Antoniades (iso-, ANSP [ANSP-GC68070]). TYPE LOCALITY. — Canada. Québec, Lake 22AA, 56°33’24”N, 76°28’47”W, 128 m a.s.l. ETYMOLOGY. — The epithet ‘vincentiana’ is named in honour of our dear colleague Warwick Vincent, whose contributions to diatom research are substantial and cannot be measured. ECOLOGY AND DISTRIBUTION. — This species was found in two lakes of the study: 22-Z and 22-AA. It reached 4.6% relative abundance in lake 22-AA and only 0.6% in 22-Z. The low number of occurrences prevented us from discerning clear relationships with lake chemistry, but both sites where it occurred had circumneutral conditions, and Lake 22-AA had the highest TP concentration in the dataset. ... : Published as part of Alibert, Marie, Hamilton, Paul B., Pienitz, Reinhard & Antoniades, Dermot, 2023, Small naviculoid species of Kobayasiella Lange-Bertalot, Adlafia Moser, Lange-Bertalot & Metzeltin, Nupela Vyverman & Compère and Sellaphora Mereschowsky from Tursujuq National Park, Hudson Bay region, Nunavik, Québec, pp. 157-187 in Cryptogamie, Algologie 20 (9) on page 176, DOI: 10.5252/cryptogamie-algologie2023v44a9, http://zenodo.org/record/10376356 ...
