Abstract
A classification of connective spines of the colonial species of diatom algae Aulacoseira Thw. is proposed. Taxonomic significance of the connective spine structure is discussed in respect to the extant and fossil species of Aulacoseira. The material suggests elaboration of the connective structures in the course of the genus evolution.
