Basionym: Riaux-Gobin et al. 2014b, p. 213, figs 24–28.

Description: Valves elliptical, 13–20 μm long, 9–11 μm wide. SV: sternum large, elliptical and slightly sigmoid, not constricted in the middle. Transapical striae delicate and radiate towards the apices, 29–32 in 10 μm, but interrupted by a hyaline longitudinal line, one stria shorter in the middle of one side of valve. RV: both raphe and sternum sigmoid, sternum very narrow, the central ends of raphe close each other, but the terminal ends of raphe relatively far from the apices. Central area not developed. Transapical striae radiate towards the apices, 24–28 in 10 μm.

Remarks: This species was designated from F. Meister’s slide specimens, collected from Nagasaki of Japan (Riaux-Gobin et al. 2014b). It does not appear to have been reported anywhere other than Nagasaki. Along Seogwipo coast, the species was encountered less frequently as epiphyte from small rock pools (St. 2); it is herein newly described for South Korea.
