General Environment
This is a marine species.
Description
Cells 25-43 µm long, 19-35 µm wide, dorso-ventrally flattened, depth 0.6-0.7 of cell width. Cingulum originating just below the cell center, with an anterior-left course before turning left 0.2-0.3 cell lengths from apex, and descending in a sigmoid fashion dorsally. Cingulum displacement 0.4-0.5 times the cell length. Numerous irregular elongated chloroplasts present, radiating from the center towards the periphery. Nucleus oval, situated in the mid-ventral plane. Cell division preceded by the formation of 6-8 longitudinal grooves on the hypocone. Cell division in the longitudinal plane, heralded by a cleavage of the epicone into two equal parts. Pyrenoid compound. Partial LSU rDNA sequence (GenBank AY455680).
