Summary Based on epilithic diatom samples collected from the rocky littoral zone of L ake M alawi (102 diatom taxa belonging to 34 genera were listed in the Supporting Information) we proposed the transfer of three taxa to new genera. A frocymbella brunii ( F ricke) comb. nov. was transferred from G omphonema because of its dorsiventral valve and its transapically elongated dorsal stigma. A frocymbella rossii ( K ociolek & S toermer) comb. nov. was also transferred from G omphocymbella , which is actually a synonym of G omphonema . A ulacoseira euareolata ( O . M üller) comb. nov. et nom. nov. was transferred from M elosira because of the presence of linking spines and mantle areolae, and its specific epithet was replaced because of homonymy with A ulacoseira areolata M oisseeva.
