Eight newly recorded species of Euglenophyceae from Bangladesh have been illustrated and described in the present paper. The species are Euglena fundoversata L.P. Johnson, E. korshikovii Gojdics, E. minuta Prescott, E. sacculiformis Schiller, Lepocinclis truncata Da Cunha, Phacus pusillus Lemn., P. strongylus Pochm. and P. wettsteini Drez. IntroductionA series of papers on the members of Euglenophyceae have been published where 256 taxa have been described and illustrated (Islam and Aziz, 1979;Islam and Khondker, 1981;Islam et al., 1991; Alfasane, 2002, 2003;Khondker and Alfasane, 2005;Alfasane and Khondker, 2007;Khondker et al., 2008a Khondker et al., , b, 2009 Ahmed et al., 2009;Begum, 2009;Begum and Khanam, 2009;Alfasane et al., 2010). During a recent study on planktonic algae of Pagla Sewage Treatment Plant (PSTP) in Narayanganj, Bangladesh, some taxa of the order Euglenales were found to occur, which were not recorded earlier from Bangladesh. In this paper, eight of these taxa are described and illustrated as new records for Bangladesh.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
