Аннотация:The genus Shionodiscus (Thalassiosirales, Thalassiosiraceae) includes species that have strutted processes with long inward but reducedoutward extensions, a labiate process typically located on the valve face, distant from the margin. Shionodiscus species inhabit the marineenvironment, and the genus includes both living and fossil species. In the course of our study of plankton samples from the Kara Sea, wefound specimens belonging to Shionodiscus. Based on LM, SEM, and TEM investigations, a new species, Shionodiscus karianus sp. nov.,is described. This species is distinguished from others in the genus based on areola densities, as well as the fine structure and location ofthe rimoportula and the central fultoportula and the ultrastructure of the areolae and cingulum. In this paper, we provide a morphologicaldescription of this taxon as well as a comparison with similar taxa. Previous records of Shionodiscus species in the Russian Arctic seasare discussed. Finally, we summarize and evaluate information on the important morphological characters, such as rimoportula positionand fultoportula structure, for Shionodiscus.
