Literature: (Al-Handal and Wulff 2008b, p. 430, figs. 95– 100; Medlin and Round 1986, p. 216, figs. 64–70; Witkowski et al. 2000, p. 343, pl. 60, figs. 13–16).

Description: Length 40–65 µm, width 5.5–10 µm, striae 12– 14 in 10 µm.

Remarks: Specimens observed in Potter Cove possess less dense striae than reported for this species which normally range between 16 and 23 in 10 µm (Medlin and Round 1986; Scott and Thomas 2005). Specimens smaller than 40 µm were not observed although it might be as small as 18 µm. Ecology and distribution: This is a marine species mostly found as epiphytic and rarely on the sediment, also reported from the Arctic (Klochkova et al. 2014). Frequent in Potter Cove.
