Dorsal side distinctly concave in middle, but convex near the apices. Valve apices clearly protracted and sub-capitate. Valve dimensions (n=30): length 23.5–69.5 μm, width 4.5–5.8 μm. Width at widest part of the valve face: 4.6–5.9 μm. Unequally spaced fibulae, 5–11 in 10 μm. Each fibulae connected to 1–4 transapically costae ( Figs 89, 92 ). Striae in middle part of the valve slightly radiate, becoming parallel toward the apices, 23–29 in 10 μm. Areolae not discernible in light microscope ( 45–50 in 10 μm). Distal raphe endings clearly hooked. Internally, fibulae not equidistant. Central raphe endings deflected to opposite directions. Taxonomic remarks: The observed population (Sample No. 2018/436) was characterized by longer valves comparing with other populations from the literature data ( Tab. 2 ). Nevertheless other features including valve width, striae and areolae density as well as internal and external proximal raphe endings confirm compliance with the current morphological concept of this species.
