Description:

Valve is linear-elliptical to broadly elliptical with rounded ends; central area is rounded, sometimes 1/3 to 1/4 the breadth of the valve; longitudinal canals are narrow, sometimes a little broader about the central area; single row of pores (13-20 in 10µm) are present (usually so placed so as to appear as continuation of alveoli); transverse costae (10-19 in 10µm) are radiate throughout the valve, with single row of alveoli in between costae; length is 10-100µm, breadth 6-35µm
Notes:
some specimens recorded have been slightly smaller in breadth than type
