This review deals with taxonomic studies of the genus Achnanthes Bory. The diagnoses of the newly described genera separating from the genus Achnanthes Bory s. lato on the basis of SEM studies are given, as well as a list of taxonomic combinations within these genera. The first part of the review includes a discussion of new types of areolae: macroareolae and postmacroareolae, and a new feature − level of frustule heterovalvy, suggested for use in the description of diatom taxa. Improved descriptions of genera Achnanthes s. str. and Achnanthidium Kützing s. str. are presented.
