Abstract
In this chapter, we provide descriptions for all new or redefined stomatocysts described since the original Atlas of Chrysophycean Cysts (Duff et al. 1995). In the first Atlas the criteria for including a new stomatocyst was at least two SEM specimens. In this current Atlas we feel that it is valid to include a specimen with only one SEM if it was i) viewed frequently using LM, or ii) highly distinctive. We feel that these two criteria are sufficient to include only those cysts in volume two of the Atlas that are definitively new morphotypes. We adopt these criteria because we feel that valuable information concerning cyst morphotypes would otherwise be lost.
