Resumo

This study aimed to identify, describe and illustrate the desmid species from the lagoon of the Bateias, Vitória da Conquista, Bahia State, Brazil, based on analysis of 15 samples collected in months of the wet (December 2010, April and December 2011) and dry (May and of October 2011) seasons. The samples were obtained in the coastal area of the lagoon using a plankton net with mesh openings of 20 μm fixed with formalin at 4%. A total of 16 taxa were identified and described, all belonging to Desmediaceae, representing the genera Cosmarium (6 species), Euastrum (1), Micrasterias (1), Pleurotaenium (1), Staurastrum (5) and Staurodesmus (2). Amongst the 16 taxa, five are reported for the first time for continental algae flora of Bahia State and two varieties – Cosmarium clepsydra var. dissimile and C. tenue var. depressum – are new reports for Brazil.
