). The valves are heteropolar, clavate-lanceolate with broadly rounded poles almost equal in width; the broadest portion of the valve is near the central area, length 54125 µm, width 16.521 µm. The axial area is relatively broad, linear, and expanded at the middle to form a mostly transapically elliptical to rhombo-elliptical central area. Both axial and central areas have unevenly scattered rounded impressions appearing as dark spots. Raphe branches are straight, distinctly lateral in the middle, with rounded external central pores somewhat deflected toward the isolated stigma. Striae are distinctly punctate, weakly radiate throughout,

The presence of plicate ribs along the valve margin, which seem to form in the same manner as the headpole spine, is a feature common in the Gyrgyntui specimens. In some strongly silicified specimens, the ribs can be arranged into two intermittent marginal ridges, which can be better seen from a girdle view (e.g.,

In Gyrgyntui, the ecological conditions, i.e., shallow running water, are in sharp contrast with those in Lake Baikal, but a relatively high species abundance indicates these conditions as quite suitable too. We have no evidence to suggest Gyrgyntui as unique in some way, since there are countless streams similar to Gyrgyntui in the Taiga zone of Siberia; this, in turn, suggests that the species might be found at greater distances from the

provides a new example of putative endemic species originally described as from Lake Baikal, that is not actually restricted to the lake, due to prior attention to its diatom flora. In light of the presented data, the species appears to be widely distributed across southern Siberia. It can also be characterized as a rare species with a disjunct distribution pattern, being limited to a small number of localities, which are considerably isolated from each other. However, it is hard to explain this pattern due to lack of extensive sampling efforts throughout Siberia and a paucity of paleontological data.
