Description

Psammodictyon panduriforme (W. Gregory) D.G. Mann (in Round et al. 1990: 676) (Fig. 97)

References: Witkowski et al. 2000, p. 397, pl. 184, figs 13, 14, pl. 186, figs 1–3; Lobban et al. 2012, p. 304, pl. 62, figs 3,4. As Nitzschia panduriformis Gregory (1857: 529)

Features: Length 90–110 μm, width 22–30 μm, fibulae 7–9 in 10 μm, striae 14–16 in 10 μm.

Description: valves linear elliptic, constricted in the middle, with broadly cuneate apices. Raphe eccentric, fibulae evenly spaced. Valve face with longitudinal, hyaline, laterally spaced fold which interrupt transapical striae.

Remarks: This species is characterized by having an undulating valve surface and a hyaline strip void of puncta, normally more close to the keel margin.

Ecology and Distribution: Widely distributed marine species. Previously reported from various parts of the Gulf (Hendey 1970, Simonsen 1974, Al-Handal 2009, Al-Yamani & Saburova 2011). Frequent in Basra corals.
