Hantzschia amphioxys
(Ehrenberg) Grunow
(
Figs 75–93
)
Basionym:
Eunotia amphioxys
(
Ehrenberg1843: 413
) Grunow
(in
Cleve & Grunow 1880: 103
)
Morphology of the observed population:
Valves clearly dorsiventral with convex ventral side. 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.
