ABSTRACT
The biodiversity and taxonomy of colonial volvocine green algae are important in ancient lakes in tropical regions. However, few taxonomic studies of these algae have been conducted in African ancient lakes. Here, we describe two species of colonial volvocine green algae in cultures originating from water samples from Lake Victoria, an ancient lake in Africa. One was identified as an undescribed morphological species of Eudorina; E. compacta sp. nov. This new species can be distinguished from other Eudorina species by its compactly arranged vegetative cells that form a hollow ellipsoidal colony. The other was identified as Colemanosphaera charkowiensis. The genus Colemanosphaera is new to Africa.
