Description:
Valves strongly dorsiventral, half-lanceolate with sharply rounded ends (L 37 40µm, W 8-9,5µm, 11 striae in 10µm, 24-27 puncta/striae in 10µm, L/W ratio 4-4,6). The dorsal side is quite convex while the ventral side is straigth with a belly-shaped outline. Axial area narrow but slightly lanceolate in the middle. No clear central area present. Striae slightly radiate, a little bit more spaced in the middle. Puncta appear in LM elongated. Ventral striae grouped near the poles. Raphe filiform with proximal dorsally bent endings. Terminal fissures clearly marked, hooked ventrally.

Notes:
Similar to E. silesiacum. Only a few valves (6) were found, belonging to E . vulgare.No records found but this taxon has recently been established by Krammer. It is possible that individuals of E. vulgare have been included in other (former) Cymbella taxa.It appeared not always easy to separate E. vulgare from E. silesiacum, especially since both taxa appear in the same samples. The latter however is always smaller with a lower L/W ratio.
