Observations
| Observations: | S. Spaulding & R. Esposito |
|---|---|
| Length: | 20-39 micrometers |
| Width: | 7-12 micrometers |
| Striae: | 14-16 per 10 micrometers at the center; 16-18 per 10 micrometers at the ends |
Description:
Valves elliptical to elliptical-lanceolate with rounded endings that are slightly rostrate. Axial area present, widening towards the center. Central area varying from elliptic to an acute-angled sub-fascia. A solitary stigma is present in the central area. Raphe straight; median and terminal raphe endings hooked in the opposite direction of the stigma. Striae radiate throughout, becoming more widely spaced in the central portion of the valve. The valve shape of this species is similar to L. muticopsis, but the size and striae spacing is more similar to L. cohnii. We suggest that this form is a new variety of L. cohnii.
