sp.
(
Figure 29
)
Description: Length 91–105 µm, width 3–4 µm, striae
13–15 in
10 µm.
Remarks: This species looked similar to
Synedropsis fragilis
(Manguin) Hasle, Medlin
et
Syvertsen
(
Hasle et al. 1994
, page 265, figures 124–141) but was longer and possessed coarser striae (
23–26 in
10 µm for
S. fragilis
).
Ecology and distribution: Marine benthic species. Frequent in Potter Cove.
