Chaetoceros diadema is a diatom in the genus Chaetoceros. The easiest way to identify this species is by finding the very characteristic diadem-like resting spores.

Cells united into chains. Very characteristic spores. One chloroplast. Base of setae is short.[1]

Similar species

Chaetoceros constrictus is quite similar in the vegetative stage, but its resting spores are different from C. diadema resting spores .
