|---|---|
| Length: | 12-23 µm |
| Width: | 7-10 µm |
| Striae: | 15-18 in 10 µm |
Description:
Valves with subparallel lateral margins. Rostrate ends. Axial area narrow. Central area an acute-angled sub-fascia, usually with a single row of poroids around the outer edge. A solitary stigma present. Raphe straight; median and terminal raphe endings unilaterally hooked in the opposite direction of the stigma. Striae radiate throughout, consisting of 3-4 distinct puncta except in the median portion of the valve and at the poles.
| Morphology: | Naviculoid |
|---|---|
| Distribution: | Antarctic endemic |
Notes:
This form can be separated from the nominate variety by its smaller and more elliptically shaped valve and by its acute-angled sub-fascia. This species was transferred from the genus Navicula to the genus Luticola by Round et al. (1990) based upon raphe, punctate striae, and unique stigma.
