**Gomphonema svalbardense** sp. nov., a new freshwater diatom species (Bacillariophyta) from the Arctic Region
Abstract: During a survey of freshwater diatoms from lakes in the region of Petuniabukta on Spitsbergen (Svalbard Archipelago) a new Gomphonema species, G. svalbardense sp. nov., has been recorded. The new taxon was previously cited in the literature as G. angustatum var. undulatum but this identifi...
