Abstract

Three diatom species recently collected from Great Basin localities represent new records of these taxa from this region of western North America. Cocconeis scutellum Ehr. and Melosira dubia Kuetz. were collected from a thermal spring in Tooele County, Utah. Nitzschia hustedtiana Salah was collected from newly flooded marshes at the south end of the Great Salt Lake, Tooele County, Utah.
