Mastogloia is a genus of diatoms belonging to the family Mastogloiaceae.[1] The genus has cosmopolitan distribution, primarily in marine waters.[1][2]

Members of this genus have complex silica chambers called partecta (singular partectum) along the sides of the first girdle band and are found only in the genus Mastogloia.[3] Marine benthic diatoms of the genus Mastogloia are naviculoid (meaning they resemble diatoms of the genus Navicula) and symmetrical along the transapical axis.[4][5] They prefer warm waters and are most commonly found in epipelic and epiphytic marine assemblages.
