Description:
Valves lanceolate to linear-lanceolate in the longer valves. The middle part is usually weakly concave with cuneately rounded ends (L 13,3-25,3µm, W 2-3µm, 8-13 fibulae in 10µm). Raphe keel with fairly regularly placed fibulae, the two in the middle more spaced than the others. Transapical striae quite visible in LM, 20-24 in 10µm.

Notes:
Only found in a fairly large abundance in one soil sample, taken from some cliffs near the coastline at Vallée des Branloires. The sample was characterized by a high specific conductance value (1200µS/cm), a circumneutral pH (7,0), very low nutrient conditions and a low moisture degree (<20%). Another soil sample (BA105) yielded some more valves. This sample was also taken from some cliffs near the coastline.Widespread in the entire (Sub-)Antarctic Region.
