Abstract The Stephanodiscus (Diatoms) of Lake Geneva: Taxonomic changes, description of a new species (Stephanodiscus irregularis) and seasonal distributions. Both light and electron microscopy have been used to describe the species of Stephanodiscus collected in the plankton of Lake Geneva (Lac Léman, France-Switzerland) during the last few years. Eight taxa have been identified: S. irregularis nov. sp.; S. alpinus Hustedt = S. astraea var. minutula (Kütz.) Grunow; S. binderianus (Kütz.) Krieger var. binderianus; S. binderianus var. oestrupii (A. Cl.) A. Cl.; S. minutula (Kütz.) Round; S. parvus Stoermer & Hakansson = S. subtilis Van Goor var. subtilis; S. neoastraea Hakansson & Hickel; Cyclostephanos dubius (Fricke) Round = S. dubius (Fricke) Hustedt. Seasonal and interannual variations of some of these species are also presented.
