Identification Identification requires scanning electron microscopy or LSU rDNA sequencing.
It is one of only a very few relatively small benthic species and distinguished from most of them by its thecal ornamentation (foveate) in contrast to smooth thecal plates of the others.

Description Small broad oval to ovoid cells with central pyrenoid with starch sheath (visible as ring), 18-24 µm long. It is one of only a very few relatively small benthic species and distinguished from them by its thecal ornamentation (foveate) in contrast to smooth thecal plates of the others. Platelet formula: 1a 1b 2 3 4 5 6 7? 8. Reliable identification is best done by scanning electron microscopy.  [details]
