Abstract. An analysis of published data on Cyclotella rossii and С. chantaica has shown general morphological similarity and coincidence of the majority of quantitative and qualitative characters. They are valve diameter, frequency of marginal fultoportulae and number of satellite pores in them, number of central fultoportulae and number of their satellite pores, number of rimoportulae and valve relief, presence of externally colliculatelly, position of rimoportula and its fissure orientation respectively. Based on this data and priority the name С. chantaica, it is suggested to treat C. rossii as a synonym of С. chantaica and, considering the latest changes in their systematic position, expand the diagnosis of the species Pantocsekiella chantaica (Kuzmina et Genkal) K. T. Kiss, Genkal et Acs emend. Genkal.

Резюме. Анализ литературных данных показал общее морфологическое сходство и совпадение большинства количественных (диаметр створки, частота расположения краевых выростов и число опор у последних, число центральных выростов и число опор у них, число двугубых выростов ) и качественных (рельеф створки, наличие бугорчатости с наружной стороны,, расположение двугубого выроста и ориентация его щели) признаков Cyclotella rossii и С. chantaica. На основе этих данных и приоритета последнего названия предлагается свести C. rossii в синонимику к С. chantaica и, с учетом последних изменений в их систематическом положении, расширить диагноз вида Pantocsekiella chantaica (Kuzmina et Genkal) K. T. Kiss, Genkal et Acs emend. Genkal.

The species Cyclotella rossii Hakansson was described using materials from a Swedish lake Laxa (Hakansson, 1990). The species belongs to small-sized forms (valve diameter 5-18 |im) and is characterized by 2-5 (rarely more) radial rows of puncta (Hakansson, 1990). Krammer, Lange-Bertalot (1991) gave a similar short diagnosis of this species. A detailed description of C. rossii with many light and electron microscopy micrographs was presented in a monograph by Houk et al. (2010). Other quantitative

(number of striae in 10 jm, frequency of marginal fultoportulae and number of satellite pores in them, number of central fultoportulae and number of their satellite pores, number of rimoportulae) and qualitative (structure of alveoli, copula and central area) features were added to the diagnosis (Houk et al., 2010). Later, based on the study of numerous materials from lakes and rivers in the Republic of Karelia, the species diagnosis was refined (Genkal, Chekryzheva, 2016). Over the last few years, the systematic position of C. rossii has been repeatedly changed — at first, this species was transferred to the genus Lindavia (Schutt) De Toni et Forti as L. rossii (Hâkansson) Nakov, Gullo-ry, Julius, Theriot et Alverson (Nakov et al., 2015), then — to the genus Pantocsekiella K. T. Kiss et E. Acs as P. rossii (Hâkansson) K. T. Kiss et Âcs (Âcs et al, 2016). In 1989, based on materials from the Khantaika River, a new species was described — Cyclotella chantaica Kuzmina et Genkal. Morphologically this species is very similar to C. rossii (Genkal, Kuzmina, 1989). Later it was also transferred at first to the genus Lindavia (Nakov et al., 2015), and then — to Pantocsekiella (Âcs et al., 2016).
The aim of this publication is a comparative analysis of morphology of two above mention species with taxonomical resolutions.
As shown in Table, ranges of variability of quantitative features in P. rossii and P. chantaica coincide, except for the number of striae in 10 jm. Higher values of this characteristic can be associated with interpopulation variability — as the valve diameter decreases, the number of striae in 10 jm increases (Genkal, Popovskaya, 2004; Genkal, 2014; Genkal, Chekryzheva, 2016). C. chantaica valves are flat, externally col-liculate, mainly with several radial rows of punctae of unequal size ± shallow furrows or chaotically arranged, (Genlal, Kuzmina, 1989, figs 6-9), which is characteristic of C. rossii (Hâkansson, 1990, figs 47-49; Houk et al., 2010, pl. 207, figs 1-6, pl. 208, figs 1-6, pl. 209, figs 1, 2; Genkal, Chekryzheva, 2016, Figs 1-26). The rimoportula position and orientation in C. rossii varies to a large extent (Genkal, Chekryzheva, 2016, Figs 29-38). In C. chantaica the process occurs near alveoli and its fissure is oriented either at an angle or perpendicular to them (Genlal, Kuzmina, 1989, figs 11, 12), like in C. rossii. Auxospores are found in C. chantaica (Genlal, Kuzmina, 1989, figs 13, 14). In the first description of C. rossii (Hâkansson, 1990) and works by some researchers (Houk et al., 2010; Genkal, Chekryzheva, 2016), there is no information on coloniality of this species. According to the diagnosis (Genkal, Kuzmina, 1989), C. chantaica may occur as solitary cells as well as in colonies.
The stated above makes it possible to consider C. rossii to be conspecific with C. chan-taica and, consequently, a synonym of the latter, as well as refine its diagnosis. Considering the latest taxonomic changes, an extended diagnosis of this species is presented.
