  abstract = {{A}mong the marine planktonic diatoms, {C}haetoceros is among the most species-rich genera, and many {C}haetoceros species are considered important primary producers. {H}owever, little is known about the ecology and distribution of the few small solitary species within this genus, including {C}haetoceros tenuissimus. {T}his article describes a minute {C}haetoceros strain, identified as {C}. tenuissimus (named {CT}16{ED}) that was isolated at a coastal lagoon in {C}orsica {I}sland, {W}estern {M}editerranean. {T}he strain was characterized by light microscopy and scanning and transmission electron microscopy, with a specific focus on the fine structure and construction of setae and its behaviour in culture. {T}he {CT}16{ED} strain was compared with other strains we isolated from the species type locality ({O}stend {H}arbour, {N}orth {S}ea) by sequencing a fragment of the nuclear ribosomal {DNA} (r{DNA}) spanning from the 18{S} r{DNA} to the {D}3 region of the 28{S} r{DNA}, and the plastid rbc{L} gene that codes the large {R}u{B}is{CO} subunit. {B}ased on the literature and the available sequence data, the analysed strains were similar to {C}. tenuissimus but the phylogenetic analysis indicated a {C}. tenuissimus species complex that contained several clades, therefore the current taxonomic status of {C}. tenuissimus is discussed. {T}he comparison with the available r{DNA} and rbc{L} sequencing data of strains assigned to species considered as synonyms of {C}. tenuissimus, including {C}haetoceros simplex var. calcitrans, {C}haetoceros calcitrans and {C}haetoceros calcitrans f. pumilus, suggested that these taxa are paraphyletic within the genus {C}haetoceros.},
