(28) Fragilaria striatula . (29) Synedropsis sp. (30) Licmophora Remarks: Specimens observed had slightly convex valve margins and coarser areole. Valve outline appears similar to Triceratium broeckii but in this species areole clearly decrease in size at the center. antarctica . (31–32) Licmophora belgicae . (33) Licmophora gracilis .
