Literature: (
Hendey 1964
, p. 281, pl. 39, fig. 6; Witkowski et al. 2000, p. 368, pl. 199, figs. 5, 6).
Description: Length 82–105 µm, width 8–12 µm, fibulae
5–6 in
10 µm.
Remarks: Striae are very fine and difficult to resolve under LM, normally appearing mottled as a result of crossing transverse and oblique lines.
Ecology and distribution: Widely distributed species in temperate and North European waters (
Hendey 1964
). Also recorded in the sea-ice of the Arctic (
Hsiao 1980
) and from surface sediment in Antarctica (
Prasad and Nienow 1986
). Frequent in Potter Cove.
