LIU Yan,KOCIOLEK John Patrick,KULIKOVSKIY Maxim,et al.Qinia gen. nov. (Bacillariophyceae: Cymbellales) from Yunnan Province, China[J].Journal of Oceanology and Limnology,2023,41(05):1965-1977.
An interesting group of cymbelloid diatoms was collected from lakes in Yunnan Province
China
and observations on their valve morphology made using light and scanning electron microscopy. These cymbelloid species all have apical pore fields
slit-like areolae
and areolar occlusions
and they all lack of stigmata. In this paper we propose the new genus
Qinia
gen. nov. for these taxa and describe them as new:
Q
.
lashii
sp. nov.
Q
.
aequalis
sp. nov.
and
Q
.
daliensis
sp. nov. The genus
Qinia
gen. nov. has lanceolate valves asymmetrical about their apical axes
raphe located in the middle of valve
distal raphe ends bent to the dorsal margin that bisects the apical pore fields (APFs)
no stigmata
areolae with slit-like externa
l openings and projections occluding the areolar openings internally. This genus resembles the genus
Cymbella
in the presence of APFs
but differs from
Cymbella
by a lack of stigmata
and by having external distal raphe ends that bisect the apical pore fields. Like
Reimeria
the external distal raphe ends bisect the lobes of the APF
but
Qinia
species differ from
Reimeria
in that they have no stigmata and the distal raphe ends are deflected dorsally
not ventrally. Comparisons were made between
Qinia
and other cymbelloid genera whose members possess apical pore fields. Features that distinguish each species of the new genus are also discussed.
