Two new **Orthoseira** species (Bacillariophyceae) from lava tubes on Île Amsterdam and Big Island (Hawai'i)
Abstract: Two new species of Orthoseira from lava tubes on Île Amsterdam and Big Island (Hawai΄i) are described using light and scanning electron microscopy: Orthoseira johansenii Lowe & Kociolek sp. nov., from Hawaii, and O. verleyenii Van de Vijver sp. nov., from the subantarctic. Both species...

Internal valves have not been encountered. Both Orthoseira johansenii and O. verleyenii have valves of about the same dimensions. The two species differ in that O. verleyenii shows a rather regular striation pattern near the valve face/mantle junction is noted whereas this is not the case in O. johansenii. Moreover, O. johansenii short slits between the carinoportulae on the internal valve side are absent whereas in O. verleyenii most valves possesses these slits. The two new species are compared with others in this small (ca. 15 species) genus. The biogeographic implications of species separated by 15,000 km are discussed.
