Abstract

Diversity of the genus Luticola (Bacyllariophyceae) in Holocenic sediments of the Dry Puna of Jujuy, Argentina. Framed in our paleoenvironmental research project, we have observed a high diversity and frequency of diatoms of the genus Luticola D.G. Mann in sediments of the last 11,000 years of Barrancas locality (S 23° 18’ 08,7”; W 66° 05’ 15,2”; 3666 m asl). We identified ten taxa, two of them are
new species -Luticula punae and L. juliae-, and we described 2 different forms of L. mollis. Two of these species are new records for Argentina and one for South America.
