Abstract
During phytoplankton studies of the mountain lakes of the Dzherginsky Nature Reserve situated East of Lake Baikal, Siberia, a new species of centric diatom was discovered, Cyclotella melnikiae Genkal et Bondarenko sp. nov. Its morphology is described using light and scanning electron microscopy. Cyclotella melnikiae is similar to Cyclotella tripartita Hakansson, Cyclotella rossii Hakansson, Cyclotella kuetzingiana Thwaites and Cyclotella chantaica Kuzmina et Genkal but is distinguished from them by the location of the rimoportulae on the valve face.
