M. John & Houk 2019	<div><p>Angusticopula rowlingiana Van de Vijver, Wilfert, D.M.John &amp; Houk sp. nov. (Figs 1–18)</p><p>LM (Figs 1–12): Frustules cylindrical to short barrel-shaped. Cells always solitary, chains, even short ones, never observed. Numerous discoid plastids present. Valve diameter (n=50): 11.0–15.0 μm, valve height 5.5–6.5 μm. Valves dome-shaped with a relatively low mantle and rounded, flat valve face. Internal valves occasionally present. SEM (Figs 13–18): Valves clearly flat with a low mantle (Fig. 13). Spines absent (Fig. 15). Valves perforated by an irregular pattern of very small, rounded areolae, never arranged into a regular striation pattern (Fig. 16). Valve face/mantle junction covered with small, rounded granules surrounding the entire valve margin (Figs 15, 16). Cingulum composed of a large number of narrow, open, unperforated ligulate copulae (Figs 13–14). Copulae fimbriate on the lower part (Fig. 14, black arrows). Internal valves dome-shaped (Figs 13, 14), perforated by a regular pattern of small pores. Small granules covering the internal valves with a higher concentration of conical granules in the lower part of the internal valves (Fig. 14, white arrows). Internally, irregular ring of rather large rimoportulae present near the mantle edge (Fig. 17, arrows). Internal valve surface perforated by numerous small areolae (Fig. 18).</p><p>Type:— Ascension Island, Atlantic Ocean, Sample Bamboo (14°20’51.53”W / 7°57’6.48”S) (leg. S. Pressel &amp; J. Duckett, April/ May 2014) (holotype BR!, slide no. 4539, isotype PLP! slide no. 354, University of Antwerp, Belgium).</p><p>Etymology:—The species is named after the famous British writer Mrs. J.K. Rowling to honor her for all her efforts to make children read books again, a first step in a possible future career as a scientist.</p><p>Ecology &amp; Distribution:— Angusticopula rowlingiana was extremely dominant in a very wet moss sample taken from a moss ball associated with bamboo roots on Green Mountain. The sample was further characterized by the presence of Eunotia meridioatlantica Van de Vijver et al. (2018: 231) and several Humidophila species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D787F72E55FFABFF69FAA0FACFF7D1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
