respected Leonid Svetlichny Thank you for your valuable reply I will refer the books

Thank you very much once again.

A useful reference to have is this one. Subrahmanyan R 1946 A systematic account of the marine plankton diatoms of the Madras coast. Proc Indian Acad Sci 24B: 85--197.

You may also refer to Atlas of Diatoms by Prof. T.V. Desikachary and colleagues. For an exhaustive list on taxonomic references please visit the URL below.
