The Chrysophycean flora of various freshwater bodies round Giessen was studied by transmission and scanning electron microscopy between 1979 and 1982. Investigations throughout the year revealed a clear preference of most of the taxa for autumn and spring. Altogether, 32 taxa of Chrysophyceae were found. Twelve of these had previously been recorded from W Germany, only four species, however, documented by electron microscopy. Mallomonas costata sp. nov. and M. pillula f. latimarginalis f. nov. are described.
