Abstract

The article contains a brief review of investigation of diatom flora of S. N. Skadovsky Zvenigorod Biological Station (Moscow Region). Until present the shallow streams of Moscow Region and European Russia did not attract a proper attention of the diatomologists that makes this study important. To date studies of algae of Meleevsky Stream have not been conducted. The stream flows a in spruce forest, its valley is swampy and water is characterized by circumneutral pH values and medium electrolyte content. The list of 98 species, varietes and morphotypes of naviculoid diatoms belonging to 18 genera found in epipelon of the watercourse is provided. For all taxa brief descriptions and light or electron micrographs are given. The highest taxonomic richness was observed in the genera Pinnularia (23 taxa), Sellaphora (17) and Stauroneis (13). 3 genera and 47 species and varietes are new for the flora of Zvenigorod Biological Station (marked with * in the text), 21 species are new records for Moscow Region (marked with **). On the one hand the work broadens our knowledge of diatom flora of Moscow Region, on the other hand it contrubutes to the data on diatom biodiversity in small forest streams of European part of Russia neglected by researchers.
