Abstract Desmids from two unnamed tarns beside the Routeburn Track and
from Peter's Pool, a young kettle-hole near Franz Josef Glacier, included
Staurodesmus pachyrhynchus var. nothogeae Skuja (thereby
confirming his proposed taxon), Staurastrum osvaldii Skuja var.
brevibrachiatum var. nov., and S. pseudassurgens Mask. var.
robustum var. nov. More specimens are needed to verify that a new
variety of Cosmarium decedens (Reinsch) Racib., a new form of
Euastrum binale (Turp.) Ehr., and reduced forms of E. verrucosum
var. alpinum (Huber-Pest.) Krieg. were in the samples.
Keywords Freshwater algae; Chlorophyta; Zygnemaphyceae;
Desmidiaceae; Desmids; New Zealand; new taxa Cosmarium, Euastrum,
Staurastrum, Staurodesmus
