Description
LM morphology: valves are isopolar to slightly heteropolar and linear to narrowly lanceolate, tapering gradually from the middle of the valves towards sub-acute apices (Figs 34–36). Valve morphometrics are as follows: length 23–29 μm, width 2.6–2.8 μm, length to width ratio 8.3–10.5, n = 5. The raphe is straight and the central area is formed by a narrow stauros that extends to the valve margins (Figs 34–36). The transapical striae are parallel in the middle of the valve, 30–32 in 10 μm but sometimes undiscernible, n = 4 (Figs 34–36). By focusing through the valve, each pseudoseptum can be seen to extend over ca. 1/5 of the valve length from the apices (Figs 34–36).
Type:— BELGIUM. Lombardsijde, specimens from the skin of a sperm whale, 51º 9’ N 2º 44’ E, November 1994 (isotype BRM! ZU 4/76).
