Pseudostaurosiropsisgeocollegarum (Witkowski) Morales is reported for the first time from India. This is very rare and neglected species was found from a Powai Lake in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. This species was described from Poland. P.geocollegarum differs from other three members of the genus Pseudostaurosiropsis by the shape of the valves, size and number of striae in 10 µm. The present study marks the first report of Pseudostaurosiropsis to Asia with ultrastructural details. This work also highlights the biodiversity value of lesser known urban biodiversity. New taxonomic combination is suggested, Pseudostaurosiropsis triradiatum (Morales) Kulikovskiy, Glushchenko et B. Karthick stat. nov. on the basis of Pseudostaurosiropsis geocollegarum f. triradiatum Morales 2005.
