Abstract
A list of desmids found in seven freshwater algal samples from the islands of Yap, Federated States of Micronesia, is presented with taxonomic notes. A total of 35 taxa are recorded for 12 desmid genera. Most species were found in well-lit ponds but some Closterium and Cosmarium taxa were found among macroalgal vegetation in streams.
