Abstract
The freshwater benthic alga Hydrurus foetidus (Villars) Trevisan was first found in the Iy-Khem River in the Todzha Basin of the Tyva Republic. Geographically, the species is widespread, but it usually grows only in cold waters. The recorded occurrence of H. foetidus in waters with a temperature of 20-21 °C significantly expands our understanding of the ecological distribution of this species. The first discovery of the species in the waters of the Todzha Basin adds to our knowledge of the diversity of algae in the Tyva Republic.
