Abstract
Surirella cruciata A. Schmidt and S. terryi Terry are rare and poorly known diatom species originally described from North America and previously illustrated only by drawings. The goal of this study was to examine and document the morphology and distribution of these species. First photographs designating the lectotype of S. terryi and the neo- and epitypes of S. cruciata are presented. Our revision of the distribution records shows that both species are found mostly along the east coast of the USA with a main occurrence in the New England states, while records from outside North America were not confirmed. Surirella terryi and S. cruciata sometimes co-occur, although S. terryi is a strictly freshwater species, while S. cruciata tolerates wider range of salinities from strictly fresh to brackish waters.
