Periphytic desmids in Corumbá Reservoir, Goiás, Brazil: genus Cosmarium Corda
With the objective of investigating the taxa of Cosmarium, four collection stations along the Corumbá Reservoir were set up. This resulted in the first work done on the genus in the State of Goiás. The collections of the material, of the epilithon type, were carried out in July 1996 and in the period between December 1996 and July 1997. The samples were preserved with 0.5% acetic lugol. The qualitative analysis was done by optical microscopic on non-permanent slides. Twenty-one taxa of the Cosmarium were described, each one illustrated by means of a camera lucida attachment.
