Description:
Valves linear, slightly swollen in the middle with broadly rounded ends (L 116-196µm, W 16-25µm, 6-8 striae in 10µm). Axial area large (almost 1/3 of valve width), linear-lanceolate. Central area indistinct or slightly asymmetrical. Raphe lateral with undulating branches. Central pores almost rounded, laterally bent, close together. Terminal fissures 'viridis'-like (Krammer 2000). Transapical striae weakly radiate in the middle, parallel to (sometimes) convergent near the poles. Small longitudinal band present.

Notes:
Very rare taxon. Several valves have been found in some drier soil samples.Unknown due to confusion with P. viridis (Nitzsch) Ehrenberg. P. neomajor is a recently established taxon (Krammer 1992).
