Description:
Similar to the nominate variety but smaller ('more elongate') with a more linear valve outline (L 30-65µm, W 6-7,5µm, 14-15 striae in 10µm). Therefore the L/W ratio is different from var. subantarctica (6,7-8,8 in var. elongata vs. 4,4-5,5 in var. subantarctica)

Notes:
Common in nutrient and salinity enriched areas, especially in penguin rookeries where this taxon forms a typical community with Luticola mutica s.l. and P. kolbei Manguin.Kerguelen (Bourrelly & Manguin 1954, Larson 1974, Le Cohu & Maillard 1986, Van de Vijver et al. 1998a, 2001), South Orkney Islands (Oppenheim 1990, Oppenheim & Greenwood 1990), Antarctic Peninsula (Van de Vijver & Beyens 1997b), Macquarie Island (McBride et al. 1999).See P. subantarctica var. subantarctica.
