This volume presents the first part of a synopsis and revision of Amphora Ehrenberg ex Kützing sensu lato, and contains

taxa that share dorsiventral valve asymmetry and in the past were considered as members of this genus. The synopsis

includes taxa from the following genera: Amphora sensu strict (or subgenus Amphora Cleve), Halamphora (Cleve) Levkov

(or subgenus Halamphora Cleve), as well as selected species from the subgenera Amblyamphora Cleve Psammamphora

Cleve and Diplamphora Cleve, and species from the recently established genera Eunophora Vyverman, Sabbe & Mann and

Colliculoamphora D. M. Williams & Reid. The synopsis covers mostly species from the temperate zone of

the northern hemisphere, including Europe, Asia and North America, but also many localities in Africa and South America.

Special attention was paid to taxonomy and distribution of the species of Amphora sensu stricto in the ancient lakes, Baikal,

Tanganyika, Ohrid, Prespa, Biwa, Aoki and Hövsgöl. It also includes species primarily known from North America and/or

North Asia and several marine and brackish water species from European coasts and estuaries.

 

The synopsis includes observations of species described by Kützing, W. Smith and Hustedt, Reichelt, Østrup, Krasske,

Cholnoky, Giffen, Foged, J. Carter, Hohn & Hellerman, Patrick, & Freese, Haworth, Gasse, Krammer, Metzeltin and Lange-

Bertalot,  based on type material.
