Diploneis is a genus of diatoms ( Chromobiota : Bacillariophyta ) that occurs in fresh water, but especially in sea water.
The genus contains 65 species and wasfirst describedby the German zoologist Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg , the founder of micropalaeontology and microbiology . The genus type is Diploneis didymus (Ehrenberg 1845), which the first describer himself had first placed in the genera Navicula (1840) and Pinnularia (1843).

features

The representatives are unicellular, broadly oval, partly panduriform (laterally constricted) diatoms with broadly rounded ends. The cells contain plastids that are stained golden brown by fucoxanthin .
