群体性volvocine绿色藻类的生物多样性和分类学研究在热带地区的古湖泊中具有重要意义。然而，这些藻类的分类研究已经在非洲古湖泊进行。在这里，我们描述了两个物种的殖民volvocine绿色藻类文化起源于从维多利亚湖，在非洲的一个古老的湖泊的水样。其中1种被鉴定为Eudorina的一个形态未描述种;新种Eudorina sp. nov.的特征是营养细胞排列紧密，形成中空的椭圆形菌落。另一株经鉴定为夏氏鞘球腔菌（Colemanosphaera charkowiensis）。Colemanosphaera属为非洲新记录种。
The biodiversity and taxonomy of colonial volvocine green algae are important in ancient lakes in tropical regions. However, few taxonomic studies of these algae have been conducted in African ancient lakes. Here, we describe two species of colonial volvocine green algae in cultures originating from water samples from Lake Victoria, an ancient lake in Africa. One was identified as an undescribed morphological species of Eudorina; E. compacta sp. nov. This new species can be distinguished from other Eudorina species by its compactly arranged vegetative cells that form a hollow ellipsoidal colony. The other was identified as Colemanosphaera charkowiensis. The genus Colemanosphaera is new to Africa.
