Morphology
Size
44-79.5 µm long, 14.5-20 µm wide (UK population).
Shape
Valves with strongly convex dorsal margin, ventral margin slightly convex at centre, broadly rounded ends, not or very slightly protracted.
Symmetry
Dorsiventral, isopolar.
Striae
Striae radiate, some striae slightly curved, 9-11(12) in 10 µm; areolae visible in LM, 20 in 10 µm (UK population) .
Axial area
Narrow, linear, approximately in centre of valve.
Central area
Round, approximately 1/4-1/3 of valve width.
Raphe
Raphe lateral becoming filiform near proximal and distal ends, proximal ends expanded, drop-shaped, straight or slightly ventrally deflected; dorsally deflected terminal raphe fissures.
Other features
2-4 stigmata on ventral side of central nodule.
