Li 2025	<div><p>Navicula fuxianensis Y.-L. Li, sp. nov. (Figs 1–10)</p><p>Description:</p><p>LM (Figs 1–4): Valves narrowly lanceolate with long-protracted and wide ends, nearly symmetrical about the apical axis, with clearly convex margins. Length 80.0–107.5 µm, width 14.5–17.0 μm, length/width ratio 5.5–6.4, median 5.9 (n = 30). Raphe branches slightly undulate. External central raphe ends simple, linear, forming pore-like expansions. External terminal raphe fissures weakly deflected. Axial area narrow and linear, not or slightly expanded towards the centre of the valve. Central area small, slightly expanded transapically, oval-elliptical, nearly symmetrical, with a pair of obviously shortened striae proximally. Striae uniseriate and radiate throughout with broader spacing in the middle. Striae in the middle portion 7–9 in 10 μm, up to 11 in 10 μm toward the ends. Lineolae coarse, ca. 26 in 10 µm.</p><p>SEM: Valve exterior (Figs 5–7): the central raphe ends deflected towards secondary valve side, drop-like, expanded central pores (Figs 5, 6). The terminal fissures appear hooked towards the secondary side of the valve (Fig. 7). Striae uniseriate (Figs 5–7). Areolae round-elliptical around axial area, slit-like toward the valve margin and mantle (Fig. 6).</p><p>Valve interior (Figs 8–10): striae uniseriate, formed by mostly slit-like and occasionally round-elliptical areolae, separated by robust silica ribs (Figs 8–10). Central raphe opening discontinuous, intermissio present (Figs 8, 9). Terminal raphe ends offset slightly and end in small helictoglossae (Figs 10).</p><p>Type: CHINA.
