A total of 18 species of silica-scaled chrysophytes (Chrysophyceae: one species each in Chrysosphaerella, Spiniferomonas, and Paraphysomonas; Synurophyceae: 11 Mallomonas spp. and four Synura spp.) was recorded from river samples collected in Edo State, Benin, Nigeria, from both dry and rainy seasons in 2003. Identifications were based on transmission electron microscopy. Five are new records for Nigeria, including four being newly reported for Africa. Two further species could not be identified.
