Entomoneis kjellmanii (Cleve) Poulin et Cardinal (Figure 103)

Literature: (Poulin and Cardinal 1983, p. 114, figs. 23, 24; Witkowski et al. 2000, p. 198, pl. 173, fig. 11).

Description: Length 86–110 µm, width 9–12 µm, striae very fine, difficult to resolve in LM.

Remarks: Valves of the observed specimens had striae much denser than reported for this species (15–16 in 10 µm) and may represent a different variety.

Ecology and distribution: A widely distributed marine bipolar species which may reach high densities among sea-ice species (Trenerry et al. 2001). Rare in Potter Cove.
