| Abstract: | The scaled chrysophytes from Papua New Guinea were studied for the first time. Twenty two taxa of Chrysophyceae and Synurophyceae are reported. Species diversity was highest in black- and mixed water lakes and swamps of the Sepik floodplain. Most surprisingly. the oligotrophic highland lakes were very poor in chrysophytes. |
