Seven Pinnularia species from the Transbaikal area, Russia, are described as new for science. These are P. baicalgenkalii, P. baicalflexuosa, P. microfrauenbergiana, P. pergrunowii, P. siberiosinistra, P. baicalodivergens, and P. baicalislandica. All species are described by original LM and SEM microphotographs and molecular phylogeny. We provide comparisons between the taxa and document variability in the features found in the species. The number of Pinnularia species in the Transbaikal area is the largest number of species of the genus anywhere in the world.
