Abstract Small diatoms belonging to the genus Fallacia often constitute a diverse component of the benthic protist communities of brackish and marine sandy sediments worldwide. However, the systematics of these organisms, and especially the epipsammic representatives, is incompletely known, and this seriously hampers the interpretation of ecological and biogeographical information. In this study, we give a detailed morphological and, where possible, cytological description of 10 Fallacia species from the Westerschelde estuary (The Netherlands); they are extensively compared to similar species. Autecological and biogeographical information on the considered taxa is provided as well. Four new species, Fallacia arenaria Sabbe et Vyverman, F. margino-punctala Sabbe et Vyverman, F. pulchella Sabbe et Muylaert, and F. scaldensis Sabbe et Muylaert, are described, and two new combinations, Fallacia escorialis (Simonsen) Sabbe et Vyverman and F. wuestii (Simonsen) Sabbe et Muylaert, are proposed. In addition, the ...
