Notes:
Rarely found in small pools and running waterbodies. pH-optimum 7,4.Recently described from the Andes, so the presence in the (Sub-)Antarctic Region is still unknown.Pierre (1977) found similar valves on Ile de la Possession, but described them invalidly as Fragilaria bicapitata var. grandis Pierre.
