Abstract
Two new diatom species, Haslea salstonica and Haslea pseudostrearia are des cribed in light and electron microscopy and compared with two well-known me mbers of Haslea. Scanning electron microscope observations confirm that the new species belong to the genus Haslea. This study extends previous observ ations on the genus, particularly with respect to the development of a pseu dostauros. The characteristic features of the genus are discussed briefly.
