This paper includes data about chrysophyte stomatocysts and algae occurring together with carnivorous plants (Utricularia and Aldrovanda). in the examined material from Fredericksburg Turnpike, Woodford, Virginia, USA, among various groups of algae 12 different morphotypes of chrysophyte stomatocysts were found. Seven of the stomatocysts are reported for the first time from Virginia (stomatocysts 42, 57, 86, 135, 150, 228 and 234). Furthermore, two morphotypes are new to the USA (stomatocysts 142 and 214), and two morphotypes are described as new to science (stomatocysts 2 and 3). The new morphotypes were described on the basis of 11 and five specimens, respectively. All reported morphotypes are briefly described and illustrated using scanning electron microscopy. The list of algal taxa occurring together with stomatocysts and inside the traps of Utricularia purpurea is also presented.
