Description:
Valves linear with parallel margins and broadly rounded, sometimes slightly subrostrate ends (L 60-95µm, W 15-18µm, 5-6 striae in 10µm). Axial area very narrow, linear. Central area rounded, asymmetrical in the middle due to the shortening of some striae on one side. Raphe moderately lateral, slightly arcuate. Central pores curved to one side, rounded. Terminal fissures sickle-shaped. Transapical striae broad, radiate in the middle, parallel to convergent near the apices. No longitudinal lines.

Notes:
Common but in low frequencies in soil samples and drier mosses. Highest abundances were reached in soil samples near the coastline where the soil, consisting almost purely of volcanic sand was influenced by sea-spray. Rare in typical water habitats such as rivers and lakes. In mosses, both wet (F-value
