Abstract

Cocconeis pseudomarginata W.Greg., Seminavis robusta Danielidis & D.G.Mann, Synedra gaillonii (Bory) Ehrenb. var. macilenta (Grunow) H.Perag., and Trachysphenia australis Petit var. rostellata Hust. from Bacillariophyceae were reported for the first time from Turkish coastal waters. Additionally, Synedra gaillonii var. macilenta and Trachysphenia australis var. rostellata were the first records at variety level for Mediterranean coasts. Morphological characteristics of these species were given in detail, and information on their distribution was provided.
