Abstract
Fifty-one phytoplankton samples were collected from different ecologic al environments in five provinces located in the central, eastern and southwestern parts of China. 41 taxa of silica-scaled chrysophytes, 8 of them belonging to the Chrysophyceae and 33 to the Synurophyceae, ha ve been identified by means of electron microscopy. Among them, Mallom onas parvula, M. calceolus, M. cyathellata (?), M. costata, M. crassis quama, and Synura echinulata are new to China. The silica-scaled chrys ophyte flora and its geographical distribution in this region are anal ysed and discussed.
