Agardh from an alpine lake in the Hengduan Mountains of southwestern China. A detailed morphological description of the new species, named <em>Cymbella</em> <em>luoyulanae</em> sp. nov., is presented; the description is based on light and scanning electron microscopy. The main features of <em>C. luoyulanae</em> are strongly dorsiventral valves with strongly reverse-lateral raphe branches near the proximal ends, a large central area occupying approximately a half of the width with the valve and slit-like areolae comprising striae that may be unseriate or partially biseriate. The new species has morphological characteristics that resemble those of <em>C. heihainensis</em> Y.Li et Gong, <em>C. modicepunctata</em> Krammer and <em>C. asiatica</em> Metzeltin, Lange-Bertalot et Y.Li, but it differs from these three species in details of size, valve shape, striae density, central area, and number of stigmata.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Acta Botanica Croatica}, author={Liu, Qi and Wu , Han and Li, Yan-Ling and Kociolek , John Patrick}, year={2021}, month={Oct.}, pages={184–190} }
