Extract

Cell ovoid to almost sphaeroidal in face view of right or left valve, lenticular to almost sphaeroidal in view showing junction of valves, in both views flagellar pole flattened, length (10) 14–17 (22), breadth (9) 11–15 (20), thickness (5) 6–8 (18) μ. Two valves of cellulose, each with a striated band at margin, band wider in larger cells, striations about 0–5 μ apart, remainder of valve surface with poroids, apparently in rows, 0–25μ apart, poroids 0.2–0.2 μ. diameter; right valve with shallow indentation, about 2 μ wide, at flagellar pole, usually lying to left of centre line; left valve with small projecting flange, about 2 μ wide, bearing flagellar pores and fitting into and over indentation on right valve; the two flagellar pores of unequal size, in apical view larger nearly triangular, smaller circular, in left valve view smaller pore to left of larger.
