Abstract

Navicula blazencicae was described from Lake Prespa (North Macedonia) in 2007 and to date is known from the type locality only. We have observed the taxon in two samples from the Krasnodar Territory. The morphology of Russian specimens is described on the base of light and scanning electron microscopy investigations. In addition, a population of Navicula trivialis of a good size range from the same region was studied for comparison. Samples of N. blazencicae observed in this study morphologically are very close to samples of N. trivialis with small valves at the ends of size reduction. Our data demonstrate that both names are conspecific.

Keywords: Navicula, diatoms, distribution, diversity, taxonomy, Krasnodar Territory, Russia.
