Abstract

Life Sciences & Biomedicine Marine & Freshwater Biology Science & Technology
A new species of Aulacoseira Thwaites is described from sediment deposits of Surprise Lake, an isolated lake located in the New Jersey Highlands. The species is characterized by (1) a low mantle, (2) unevenly distributed mantle areolae of variable size and shape, and (3) a valve face covered by rounded areolae. The new species is most similar to Aulacoseira biseriata (Grunow in Van Heurk) Houk, R. Klee & H. Tanaka. Both taxa possess frustules with mantles that are low, with irregular pervalvar rows or scattered areolae. However, the two species differ in the shape and pattern of the areolae, the shape and structure of the mantle wall, the shape and depth of the ringleist, and other morphological features. In this study, we present light and scanning electron microscopic images of the new species and compare it to the most similar taxa.
