Cohnii (Hilse) Grun., Navicula contenta var. biceps Arnott, Achnanthes (Achnanthidium) coarctata Breb., and Hantzschia amphioxys (Ehr.) Grun. Less common species are Hantzschia amphioxys var. major Grun., Caloneis bacillum (Grun.) Meresch, Neidium knuthii, var. heilprinensis Foged, Navicula mutica var. nivalis (Ehr.) Hustedt, and Navicula fritschii Lund. The occurrence of several isolated valves of Hantzschia possessing numerous spines is noted.
