Abstract
A planktonic and solitary diatom species superficially reminiscent of Nitzschia (subg. Nitzschiella) spp. has been found in marine samples f rom South America, central California waters, West Greenland and Denma rk. Lennoxia faveolata gen. et sp. nov. is spindle-shaped with thin, e xtended and sometimes curved cell ends. The valve face pattern consist s of a honeycomb mesh superimposed on a basal thin layer of material. A marginal structure reminiscent of a tubular process is present on at least one valve of each cell.
