title: Haslea salstonica sp. nov. and Haslea pseudostrearia sp. nov. (Bacillariophyta), two new epibenthic diatoms from the Kingsbridge estuary, United Kingdom.
abstract: Two new diatom species, Haslea salstonica and Haslea pseudostrearia are described in light and electron microscopy and compared with two well-known members of Haslea. Scanning electron microscope observations confirm that the new species belong to the genus Haslea. This study extends previous observations on the genus, particularly with respect to the development of a pseudostauros. The characteristic features of the genus are discussed briefly.
