INTRODUCTION
A project entitled “Survey and Excavation of Korean Indigenous Species” started in 2006 under the National Institute of Biological Resources (NIBR), an organization of the Ministry of Environment of Korea. A number of diatom species have been newly reported to Korea and the species richness of the diatom gradually increases in the meantime. Lee et al. (2012) added 60 new diatom species occurring in the coastal area to the diatom floristic study of Korea. In addition, some genus assemblages of diatoms were intensively studied, and a number of species were newly reported; many naviculoid and Hantzschia species in the intertidal sand flats of the Nakdong River estuary (Joh 2013, 2014a), some Achnanthes and Cyclotella ones from the coastal area (Lee et al. 2013, Park et al. 2013), and Stauroneis species from the mountain peatlands (Joh 2014b). Additionally, Park et al. (2014) studied planktonic pennate diatoms, and they added 20 species to the diatom checklist of Korea. Despite continuous efforts to understand the diversity of diatoms from Korea, many such diatoms remain undescribed. This is the third publication in the species diversity project, and forty diatom species are newly reported with their distributional patterns.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The materials were collected at 71 sites during the period from April 1999 to August 2014 from fresh and marine coastal waters of Korea (Table 1 and Fig. 1). All samples were collected using 20-µm-mesh plankton nets with vertical and/or horizontal towing. Diatom samples were immediately fixed with 4% neutralized formalin. To examine the fine structures and specific characteristics of each diatom, cell organelles and organic matter were removed with concentrated HCl and saturated KMnO4 (Hasle and Fryxell 1970). The permanent slides were observed at ×400 to ×1000 magnification using a light microscope (Eclipse 80i; Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) with a digital camera (DS-Fi1; Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). The other cleaned samples were attached to aluminum stubs, coated with gold-palladium, and examined using a scanning electron microscope (JSM-5600LV; JEOL, Tokyo, Japan).

Fig. 1.Sampling sites in the present study. The abbreviated words indicate as follows: East Sea, ES; Yellow Sea, YS; South Sea, SS; Freshwater, FW.
Diatom identifications were mainly based on Hendey (1964), Round et al. (1990), Hasle and Syvertsen (1996), and a number of other references including the original descriptions listed for each taxon.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Forty species of diatoms were newly recorded from marine and fresh water in Korea. As shown in the following, diatom taxa were composed of three classes, six subclasses, 13 orders, 19 families, and 28 genera based on the system of Round et al. (1990) and Medlin and Kaczmarska (2004). We described the taxonomic information of diatoms, illustrations, classifications, references, basionyms, synonyms, and distributions.

The rimoportula of A. octonarius internally has the long neck and the labium slit is parallel to the valve face, while one of our Actinocyclus specimen has the short neck and the labium slit is fairly curved toward the abvalvar. The variation of internal structure of rimoportula in A. octonarius has not known yet, we temporarily consider this species as unknown status until other evident characters reveal.

Remark: In our knowledge, there is no identical species in this specimen. Therefore, we temporarily consider this species as unidentified status, and further investigation should be performed.
24. Licmophora juergensii Agardh 1831 (Figs. 38–40)
Synonym: Podosphenia juergensii (Agardh) Kützing 1844.

Specimen examined: NIBRDI0000134571 in National Institute of Biological Resources (NIBR), Incheon.

Type locality: unknown.
Korea distribution: This species has been mainly observed in the East Sea on 21 Jan 2009 (ES-01), 22 Jan 2009 (ES-06), 23 Jan 2009 (ES-10), 23 Jan 2009 (ES-12), and 23 Jan 2009 (ES-18).

Dimension: length 10.5 µm, width 4.7 µm, 20 transapical striae in 10 µm.
Korea distribution: This species was observed in the Yellow Sea on 24 Oct 2006 (YS-02).
Remark: The biseriate striae and the unilaterally deflected terminal raphe fissures are related to the genus Planothidium, but there are no identical species in the genus in our knowledge. Round and Bukhtiyarova (1996) transferred some Achnanthidium species having the multiseriate striae into Planothidium, but they did not transfer all multiseriate Achnanthidium species at that time. Therefore we primarily consider this species as Achnanthidium species, and further study is needed to decide its taxonomic position.
26. Anorthoneis sp. (Fig. 42)
Dimension: long 21.6–24.3 µm, 18.5–21.7 µm.
Korea distribution: This species has been mainly observed in the Yellow Sea on 15 Jul 2011 (YS-11), 02 Nov 2011 (YS-12) and 05 Nov 2011 (YS-14).
Remark: This species differ from the other Anorthoneis species by the biseriate areolation in the margin of raphid valve. Until the fine structure from two types of valve is revealed, we temporarily consider this species as unknown status.

Korean distribution of newly recorded diatoms
Most taxa have been rarely observed in the specific areas, except for Shionodiscus poro-irregulatus, Cyclotella choctawhatcheeana, C. cryptica, C. scaldensis, and Gyrosigma littorale (Table 2). The occurrence of species was related to their preferred habitat and reflected the habitat features: In the Yellow Sea, 14 species were observed, and they mainly consisted of the benthic diatoms, such as Actinoptychus, Anorthoneis, Pleurosigma, and Pseudogomphonema. In the South Sea, four species were observed; of these, two species (Chaetoceros octagonus and C. simplex) were planktonic and two species (Pleurosigma amara and Terpsinoë Americana) were benthic diatoms. In the East Sea, four species were observed; of these, two Asteromphalus species were planktonic and the other two species (Eunotogramma marinum and Licmophora juergensii) were epiphytic. On Jeju Island, Progonoia mirabilis, Toxarium hennedyanum, and Trigonium arcticum var. japonica were typical planktonic diatoms, and these species were not observed at high latitudes in Korea. In the freshwater regions, 10 species were observed, and they were typical freshwater diatoms. The co-occurrence of planktonic and benthic diatoms in the Yellow and South Seas might have been due to the tidal effect, and the epiphytic taxa from the East Sea might have been opportunely detached from seaweed at the intertidal zone.
Table 2.Checklist of occurrence of 40 species from the Yellow Sea (YS), South Sea (SS), East Sea (ES), Jeju Island (Jeju) and the freshwater regions (FW); each value indicate the number of occurrence from the sites in each area
Shionodiscus poro-irregulatus, Cyclotella choctawhatcheeana, C. cryptica, C. scaldensis, and Gyrosigma littorale have been frequently observed in the coastal waters of Korea. Given the frequent occurrence of these species, why are they firstly reported in the present study? Park et al. (2014) mentioned three reasons explaining why the taxa have not been recorded in Korea: (1) high species diversity in a single genus, (2) misidentification due to confusion with similar taxa, and (3) species-specific habitats. Shionodiscus poro-irregulatus might be misidentified as other thalassiosiroid diatoms, such as S. oestrupii var. venrickae due to its valve face rimoportula or Thalassiosira eccentrica due to its coarse areolae and tangential areolation. Cyclotella and Gyrosigma are the most species-rich groups of diatoms, and the numbers of species are estimated at approximately 177 and 89, respectively (Guiry and Guiry 2015). The four newly recorded species in both genera might be overlooked or misidentified as other Cyclotella or Gyrosigma species. Both genera require intensive study to understand the species diversity in Korea.
