Abstract
A new species, Platessa strelnikovae Enache, Potapova & E.Morales is described from modern and subfossil lake sediments from the Northeastern United States. This species is placed in the genus Platessa Lange-Bertalot based on biseriate striae and absence of terminal raphe fissures. The new species is easily distinguishable from other Platessa species by its valve shape and the presence of a depression in the central area of the rapheless valve; depression that none of the other Platessa species described in the literature thus far have. The new species was found in sediment samples from circumneutral, low conductivity and mesotrophic lakes from Maine and Vermont.
