AB Silica-scaled chrysophytes are often important components of the phytoplankton community of freshwater lakes and reservoirs. A total of 25 taxa were recorded during an investigation of Borkovická Blata peat-bog and Novohradské Hory ponds, representing five genera. Along with cosmopolitan and widely distributed species, rare Synura mollispina, Mallomonas conspersa, M. retifera and M. kalinae were found. This study also represent only the third time that M. conspersa has ever been reported and documented by scale microphotographs. This taxon has so far been reported only from Japan and New Zealand. The close resemblance of scale morphology to M. retifera is discussed. Synura mollispina, M. conspersa and M. pumilio var. munda are recorded for the first time from the territory of the Czech Republic.
