Valves lanceolate to elliptical-lanceolate with weakly apiculate ends (L 16 23 (43)µm, W 4-4,5µm, 16-19 fibulae in 10µm). Raphe keel quite eccentric with evenly spaced fibulae, hard to distinguish in LM due to coarse striae. Transapical striae quite resolvable in LM, number corresponding with number of fibulae, 16-19 in 10µm).
