A novel monoraphid diatom species, You, Yu, Kociolek & Wang, is examined and described from the Qingyi River and Maolan Nature Reserve of southern China. The morphological description is based on light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy observations and the new species is compared with similar taxa in this genus. The characteristics unique to include its central area extending irregularly to both sides, it having closed valvocopulae with heavily silicified fimbriate margins and poles of the valvocopulae have 'sword-shaped' siliceous extensions. These features differentiate this new species from others in the genus. This new species was found in alkaline waterbodies, including streams, waterfall and ponds. It was usually found as an epiphyte on the stones; however, it was present on other substrates such as mosses.

A new marine monoraphid diatom species, , is described from the coast of Guangxi, China. The detailed morphology of this epipsammic diatom is studied by using both light and scanning electron microscopy. differs from congeners by a combination of morphological features including capitate apices, multiseriate striae, a small central area on the raphe valve and an oblong sinus on the rapheless valve.

During the investigation of the freshwater diatoms from Tibet, a monoraphid species was observed from a hot spring near Anduo County, located on a plateau in the central portion of Tibet. This species shares the diagnostic features of , such as the valve bent along the transapical axis, striae uniseriate to biseriate from centre to the apices and areolae with special structures located at the end of each stria. We compared the morphological characters of this new species with the others in this genus and show it to be new; it is named This species has small valves with slightly protracted ends with nearly capitate apices, lanceolate axial area, central area unilaterally expanded to the margin, striae uniseriate to biseriate, but, in some valves, the striae are only uniseriate.

The genus was separated from , but its systematic position is in debate. We sequenced the complete chloroplast and mitochondrial genome of Cocconeidaceae for the first time with and investigated its phylogeny and evolutionary history. Results showed that the plastid genome was 140,415 bp long with 167 genes.

Article Synopsis
- - A new genus and species of monoraphid diatom, named Witkowski & Riaux-Gobin gen. nov. and Witkowski & Riaux-Gobin sp. nov., was discovered in the coral reefs of the Indian and Pacific Oceans during a benthic diatom survey.
- - The distinct features of this diatom include an alveolate sternum valve with unique structures and specific internal characteristics that differentiate it from similar species.
- - The analysis places the new genus within the Achnanthidiaceae family due to its unique raphe valve and sternum valve structures, highlighting the complex morphology observed through various microscopy techniques.
