The samples were collected at lowland swamps, reservoirs, mountainous wetlands, and sphagnum bogs from 2012 to 2014. The followings were newly recorded in Korea: two species, three varieties, and one form, including six taxa of the genus Cosmarium. The newly recorded Korean species were Cosmarium bioculatum var. hians, C. bireme, C. pseudobiremum, C. nitidulum var. pseudorectangulare, C. trilobulatum f. retusum, and C. trilobulatum var. depressum. The flora of the genus Cosmarium contains 303 taxa in total in Korea. The specimens were cultured and deposited on the algal culture collection of Kyonggi University (ACKU) and National Institute of Botanical Resources (NIBR).

To gain insights into the phylogenetic relationships of genus Staurastrum and Staurodesmus, we analyzed nuclearencoded small subunit rDNA of 82 strains, and chloroplast atpB gene sequences of 44 strains belonging to three genera (Staurastrum, Staurodesmus, Cosmarium). Excluding the Staurastrum muticum and S. orbiculare, forty five strains of genus Staurastrum formed a well supported clade. It was shown that with no cell wall sculpture and processes, these two species have a strong phylogenetic relationship with genus Staurodesmus. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to transfer Staurastrum without processes and cell wall sculpture into Staurodesmus. S. obsoletus is a taxa that is transferred from Cosmarium. But, from this study, it has shown a phylogenetic relationship with Cosmarium. Therefore, this species is strongly recommended to transfer back to Cosmarium instead of Staurodesmus. As it was studied before, genus Staurastrum has shown monophyletic. Since the genus taurodesmus groups with Cosmarium, they were shown to be polyphyletic.

In this study, genus Cosmarium, 3 species, 2 varieties, 1 forma were sampled at 14 stations from August 1987 to July 1988. The character variations in populations were studied from the cultured plants. As a result, 1 species, 1 variety and 1 forma were treated as synonyms according to the polymorphism found at the same colony. C. angulosum f. rotundatum was different from C. angulosum by the front view, but C. angulosum type and C. angulosum f. rotundatum type occurred simultaneously in the same colony. C. angulosum f. rotundatum was included in C. angulosum which is type species. c. auriculatum, C. subauriculatum and C. subauriculatum var. truncatum have been sorted by the shape of cell and the number of granules at the lower sides of semicell. For three types occurred at the same colony, those species and variety treated as synonym of C. auriculatum which was named first.

Cosmarium candianum and C. obtusatum were sampled at 11 stations in Korea from October 1987 to June 1988. The samplings were cultured for study of the character variations in colonies. As a result, C. candianum var. candianum f. minutum, C. candianum var. depressum and C. candianum var. latius need not be separated from C. candianum, because 4 types in C. candianum complex occurred simultaneously in the same colony. It was changed the species reported as C. circulare Reinsch in Korea presently into C. candianum Delponte according to Compere's review. Because 2 types of C. obtusatum complex occurred at the same colony, C. obtusatum var. beanlandii need not separated from C. obtusatum.

It has been considered that genus Cosmarium including Staurastrum had the problems in grouping by morphological characters. Sequence data for the Cytochrome Oxidase subunit III (coxIII) were employed to compare with taxa of two divisions of this genus, with sections in each, for evaluating the taxonomic stability of these morphological characters. The division and section systems were not coincided with the phylogeny inferred from coxIII sequences, as the previous reports from us using nuclear rDNA ITS and chloroplast rbcL sequence comparisons in this genus. Two taxa of Staurastrum were not placed within a same clade each other, and one taxon of these was grouped in Arthrodesmus clade. Two genera, Cosmarium and Staurastrum, cannot be regarded as monophyletic from this result. Mitochondrial coxIII gene was considered as a useful phylogenetic tool to evaluate evolutionary relationships of desmids as in the case of land plants.

전국 8곳의 담수역과 1곳의 기중조류 서식지에 대한 미세 녹조류의 채집을 실시하여 녹조식물에 속하는 7속 2종 6변종 2품종의 한국산 미기록 분류군을 추가하였다. 이들은 Scenedesmus속의 1분류군과 Actinotaenium속의 1분류군, 장고말속의 4분류군, 팔장고말속의 1분류군, 오목장고말속의 1분류군, Hyalotheca속의 1분류군과 Teilingia속의 1분류군이 포함되었다. 따라서 현재까지 보고된 한국산 녹조식물은 1강 10목 34과 140속에 속하는 728종 318변종 85품종의 총 1,131분류군으로 정리되었다. 본 연구에서 채집된 10분류군의 한국산 미기록 분류군들은 전 세계에서 이미 보고된 분류군들과 대체로 일치하였으나 3분류군에 있어서는 크기와 형태적인 특징에 있어서 차이점을 나타냈다. Actinotaenium cucurbita var. cucurbita f. rotundatum은 협입부의 폭이 넓은 개체와 함께 좁은 개체가 관찰됨으로써 협입부의 폭에 있어서 변이를 나타냈다. Cosmarium lapponicum var. granulatum과 C. portianum var. orthostichum 그리고 Euastrum denticulatum var. rectangulare은 이미 보고된 분류군들에 비하여 한국산 분류군이 세포의 크기가 작은 것으로 나타났다. Cosmarium lapponicum var. granulatum을 포함한 5분류군은 부영양화 된 수계에 분포하였고, Cosmarium decedens는 산간지방의 습지 또는 하천에 분포하는 것으로 보고되었으나 본 연구에서 기중에도 분포하는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The freshwater algae were collected at reservoirs and small ponds in Gyeonggi-do and Jeju-do on June 2016. Four species of Korean previously unrecorded algae were collected in domestic fresh waters: Coelastrum rugosum, Cosmarium baccatum, Cosmarium norimbergense and Staurastrum connatum var. pseudoamericanum. The morphological characteristics of the four taxa identified in this study were showed mostly similar to the characteristics of the previously reported characteristics. However, Cosmarium baccatum was larger than the previously recorded species and Staurastrum connatum var. pseudoamericanum was wider than the previously recorded species.

In this study, light microscopy of all of these are presented and briefly discussed with regard to their taxonomy, distribution and ecology within South Korea.
