“…The genus Humidophila contains well-known diatoms that are usually found on wet rocks, walls, wet soils, moss vegetation and in cave habitats [39,50]. The genus includes diverse species, which have been described in Europe [38,50], China [30], Hawaii [21] and the Antarctic region [22]. The taxa in this genus possess a small, linear to lanceolate-elliptic valve and broadly rounded ends.…”

Phototrophic microorganisms can be found in biofilms at entrances to caves where they have access to sufficient sunlight, water and nutrients; however, they can also be found inside caves, where they are carried by animals and people, and can proliferate in the presence of artificial light. Although the genus Humidophila includes some well-known cosmopolitan species, further exploration of its rare, insufficiently investigated representatives in different geographical areas and unusual habitats is necessary. Caves remain unknown, little-explored habitats, and many species currently known to science were recorded for the first time. This study aimed to report species belonging to the genus Humidophila that were identified in 19 caves in Serbia. A total of ten species of this genus were recorded and some of them are documented for the first time in Serbia. The most abundant species were H. contenta (found in 16 caves), H. paracontenta, and H. aerophila (found in 13 caves), whereas H. pyrenaica was identified in only one cave. The rare species, H. brekkaensoides and H. vidalii, were also documented and described, but with different dimensions from those provided in current identification keys.

During the analysis of an voucher sample from Frahan (Belgium) collected by the Belgian diatomist Charles-Henri Delogne, seven species from the genus Humidophila (Bacillariophyta) have been observed. Two species could not be identified using the currently available literature and are described as new to science. Humidophila delognei sp. nov. has always been identified in the past as H. contenta, but based on recent analysis of the original type material of the latter, it was clear that the currently accepted concept of the species was wrong. The new species is characterised by parallel valve margins, a linear valve outline, a distinct central fascia and T-or Y-shaped raphe endings. The other new species, H. aspera sp. nov. has undulating valve margins and distinct, though irregular siliceous markings in the central and axial area. The sample from Frahan was also indicated by Van Heurck (1885) as being the original material for the newly described species Humidophila (Navicula) flotowii, long considered a synonym of H. perpusilla. Both species can however be separated based on a different length/width ratio, with H. flotowii showing more slender, elongated valves. Other Humidophila species in the sample include H. contenta, H. laevissima, H. perpusilla and H. simplex. Navicula fragilarioides, a new name once introduced for Fragilaria laevissima, the basionym of H. laevissima, is lectotypified based on an original Krasske slide.
