| Observations: | Bart Van de Vijver |
|---|---|
| Length: | 75-130µm |
| Width: | 14-18µm |
| Striae: | 8-9 striae in 10µm |
Description:
Valves linear with parallel margins and broadly rounded ends (L 75-130µm, W 14-18µm, L/W ratio 5-7). Axial area moderately narrow, 1/3 of valve width. Central area rhomboid with a symmetrical, rectangular fascia. Raphe narrowly lateral, straight with large, laterally bent teardrop-like central pores and viridis-like terminal fissures. Transapical striae weakly radiate in the middle, convergent near the apices, 8-9 striae in 10µm. Moderately large longitudinal line present.
