Description Cells lenticulate, pointing ventrally and compressed antero-posteriorly. Epitheca and hypotheca have almost the same height. Plate pattern and shape are similar to that of O. siamensis (Fukuyo 1981) but the main distinctive feature is the presence of two types of pores, large and small visible in LM (cf. Fig. 33 in Fukuyo 1981), and the absence of undulation of the cingulum. [details]

Description Cells lenticulate, pointing ventrally and compressed antero-posteriorly. Epitheca and hypotheca have almost the same height. Plate pattern and shape are similar to that of O. siamensis (Fukuyo 1981) but the main distinctive feature is the presence of two types of pores, large and small visible in LM (cf. Fig. 33 in Fukuyo 1981), and the absence of undulation of the cingulum. [details] Harmful effect Species is not toxic (Chomerat et al. 2019). Previously reported to be toxic by Tindall et al. (1990), but probably mistaken with O. siamensis (see discussion in Chomérat et al. 2019) [details] Identification Contrary to the statement by Penna et al. (2005) that the elongated or rounded shape is one of the main differences between O. lenticularis and O. siamensis, Fukuyo (1981) clearly indicated that the two species have a similar size, outline and thecal plate pattern. Using SEM, Faust et al. (1996) identified specimens with only one type of pore as O. lenticularis, which differs from the original description of the species, and this organism likely belongs to another taxon. [details] |
