 Bacillariophyceae of Vilama lacustrine system (Jujuy Argentina). The aim of this paper is to continue the diatom flora survey in high mountain water bodies. There have been obtained, in January 2005, water samples from 12 wetlands (4500 m asl) in the Vilama lacustrine system, Jujuy province. With this contribution, the knowledge of the diatom flora in this type of environments is increased. There have been identified 43 genera and 137 infrageneric taxa of wich six are mentioned by the first time for the country and one new species, Staurophora vilamae was described. The relation between species richness and some environmental parameters is also discussed.
