AB  - Three new freshwater diatoms are described from China's Yunnan Plateau region in sediments from Lake Fuxian. Navicula australasiatica nov. sp., Navicula perangustissima nov. spec., and Navicula turriformis nov. spec. were identified from light and scanning electron micrographs. All new species are sufficiently different from other similar species based on valve outline, shape of the axial and center areas, and stria density. These three new species are all observed in surficial sediment from Lake Fuxian and compared to morphologically similar species from the genus Navicula.
