Description
Cells armoured. 18-22 µm long and 15-18 µm wide. Shape rounded and markedly dorsoventrally flattened. The cingulum is excavated, located in the equatorial part of the cell and slightly ascending. No chloroplast, but several globular bodies, are present in the cytoplasm. The plate tabulation: Po, X, 4', 3a, 7", 3c, 4(?)s, 5'" and 2"". Shape of 1' is ortho. The three intercalary plates are shifted to the left part of the theca. The second intercalary plate is hexagonal and markedly extended and abuts the 2" plate. The third intercalary plate is hexagonal and symmetrical. The cingulum consists of three plates of different lengths. All thecal plates are smooth and, except those of the APC, have sparse pores surrounded by circular rims. Variations of the plate pattern are observed on the epitheca, involving splitting of 3 plate or fusion of 4" and 5" plates.
