Key references
Morphology
Size
Diameter 32-135 µm (Houk 2003).
Shape
Cells cylindrical forming long chains, valves circular.
Valve
Interlocking ridges and grooves visible as radial structures on valve face, at margin 9-12 in 10 µm (Houk 2003).
Other features
Valve mantle with fine poroids arranged in diagonal rows.
SEM morphology
Valve mantle and valvocopula attached by crenulated edges. Two rows of porelliportulae with round external openings. Rims of linking valves with interlocking spines.
