ABSTRACT A new order, Parmales, in the Chrysophyceae has cells with siliceous walls made up of round, triradiate and sometimes oblong plates all fitting edge to edge. In the new family, Octolaminaceae, cell walls have eight plates. Cell walls in the new genus Tetraparma have four round plates and four triradiate plates. Cell walls in the new genus Triparma have three round plates of equal size, one larger round plate, one triradiate plate and three oblong plates. In the new family, Pentalaminaceae, cell walls have three round and two triradiate plates. A total of seven new species and four subspecies are described from subarctic Pacific and Antarctic waters.
