Abstract
A new variety of Amphora margalefii is described as: A. margalefii var. lacustris P. Sánchez var. nov. It is identifiable by its narrow, elliptical frustule (18−27 × 6.5−10 µm) with dorsal striae consisting of a double row of puncta. This taxon inhabits epipelic communities which develop in the litoral zone of several brackish water lakes in the province of Málaga (Spain). Maximum population densities are observed between December and February.
