Additions to the Marine <i>Mastogloia</i> (Bacillariophyceae) from Cuban Coasts; Remarks on Misidentified Taxa
During a floristic inspection of sediment samples from Playa Las Gaviotas, 69 specific and infra-specific taxa of <i>Mastogloia</i> were identified in the diatom taxocenosis, including 42 unrecorded taxa for the Cuban coasts. These are added to the 59 <i>Mastogloia</i> taxa p...

| description | During a floristic inspection of sediment samples from Playa Las Gaviotas, 69 specific and infra-specific taxa of <i>Mastogloia</i> were identified in the diatom taxocenosis, including 42 unrecorded taxa for the Cuban coasts. These are added to the 59 <i>Mastogloia</i> taxa previously listed. In this way, currently, the 101 <i>Mastogloia</i> comprised in the benthic diatom associations of the Cuban coast constitute the highest number of taxa ever recorded in similar floristic studies, which also indicates their tropical affinity. Furthermore, observations are made on misidentified taxa such as <i>Mastogloia</i> (<i>Orthoneis</i>) <i>aspera</i>, <i>M</i>. <i>asperuloides</i>, <i>M</i>. (<i>Orthoneis</i>) <i>clevei</i>, <i>M. floridensis</i>, <i>M</i>. <i>latecostata</i>, <i>M</i>. <i>laterorostrata</i>, <i>M</i>. <i>ovata</i>, <i>M</i>. <i>sigillata</i>, <i>M</i>. <i>pseudolatecostata</i>, and others. |
