Quaternariella obseura gen. et sp. nov. (Prymnesiophyceae) is described on the basis of electron microscopy of shadow cast whole mounts prepared from water samples collected in the summer 1977, at localities in the vicinity of Godhavn, West Greenland. The new taxon comprises small biflagellate coccolithophorids with a short coiling haptonema. The periplast is composed of at least two layers of organic scales of which the outer larger circular scales support crystallite packages, each a group of four minute rhombohedrons. Small, unmineralized oval scales are present below the coccolith base-plates.
