The genus Luticola DGMann (Bacillariophyta) from the McMurdo sound region, Antarctica, with the description of four new species
Abstract: A revision of the freshwater diatom genus Luticola from the McMurdo Sound Region, including the McMurdo Dry Valleys and Cape Royds, Antarctica, was made to contribute to a consistent flora for the entire Antarctic Region. Detailed light and scanning electron microscopic observations, revie...
