Notes:
West and West (1911) describeded this taxon from pond and moraines sites near their camp at Cape Royds on Ross Island. They noted the single stigma and shorter striae that border the central area as well as finer striae (14 in 10 µm compared to 9 in 10 µm). The striations are also radiate throughout, and never transverse at the poles. The poles are very slightly dilated.
