Abstract
A new species, Trochiscia hamzaoglui Atici sp. nova, determined from freshwater habitat, Kesik-k?prü Dam Lake on the Kizilirmak River (Kirsehir, Central Anatolia), and the sample was taken from plankton. This new species was first found in the study of algal samples from the area. Light microscope indicated a clear relationship with the species in the genus Trochiscia . Some of the characteristic features of the new taxon include a spine and an irregular cell wall. A comparison with closely related taxa is given on.
