Literature: (Krammer and Lange-Bertalot 1988, p. 61, pl. 46, figs. 3–6; Witkowski et al. 2000, p. 385, pl. 191, figs. 12–14). Description: Length 61–76 µm, width 9–11 µm, fibulae 10– 11 in 10 µm, striae 26–28 in 10 µm.

Remarks: Observed specimens had denser striae than previously found in this region (Al-Handal and Wulff 2008b).
