SUMMARY Zygospores, belonging to representatives of the desmid genera Actinotaenium (two species) and Cosmarium (17 species), were collected in small pools in South‐West France. Along with the zygospores, vegetative cells from the sporulating populations are depicted and taxonomically discussed; the spores of 11 of the 19 species presented have not previously been reported in the literature.
