The relationships between 49 naviculoid diatoms, currently arranged in 14 families and four orders were investigated using cladistic analysis in order to test the types of characters used in diatom systematics and to assess how well the current classification reflects possible phylogenetic relationships in this group. Some of the families and orders comprise taxa with different protoplast characters, or taxa with similar protoplast arrangements are placed in separate families or orders. Therefore as both cell wall and protoplast characters were used, three analyses were undertaken; total data, protoplast data and frustule data. The analyses support the recognition of the Mastogloiales (unequivocally) and the Cymbellales (largely) but indicate that some of the familial groupings are more ambiguous. The members of the Berkeleyaceae, Berkeleya, Parlibellus and Climaconeis, were never grouped together and Achnanthes brevipes never grouped with the other monoraphid diatoms, but usually with members of the Mastogloiales (total and protoplast data). Similarly, Round et al.'s familial groupings within the Cymbellales do not emerge from our analyses. Our results support the hypothesis that monoraphid genera have arisen independently from different naviculoid diatoms, and that Achnanthes sensu stricto should be transferred to the Mastogloiales. Some of the problems associated with incomplete information and inaccurate terminology are discussed briefly.
