Chris,

A new species of Marine flagellate has been found off South West England (also found in Norway).  The genus Chrysochromulina Lackey (1939) comprises a number of golden-brown flagellates now included in the class Haptophyceae {sensu Christensen, 1962, 1966).  So far 21 species have been described and their scale morphology and fine structure are well documented.

The new species is:  Chrysochromulina parkeae (Sp. nov.) J.C.Green & Leadbeater 1972
