Description
Entomoneis gigantea (Grunow) Nizamuddin (Figure 102)
Literature: (Grunow 1860, p. 568, pl. 4, fig. 12 as Amphiprora gigantea; Nizamuddin 1983, p. 704).
Description: Length 92–110 µm, 15–18 µm, striae 14–18 in 10 µm.
Remarks: Specimens observed in the present study appeared to have slightly denser striae than previously reported from Potter Cove (Al-Handal and Wulff 2008a).
Ecology and distribution: A widely distributed marine benthic species, also reported from sub-Arctic regions (Scholz and Einarsson 2015). Rare in Potter Cove.
