Aulacoseira westfjordensis Van de Vijver, L.Willems & Pottiez, sp. nov. LM and SEM pictures taken from the holotype slide (BR-4890, Westfjords, Iceland, sample W022). Figs 1–8. LM views of the frustules in girdle view connected to each other. On Fig. 3 the spines are clearly sticking out (arrow). Fig. 9. LM view of a valve in valve face view focusing on the Ringleiste (arrow). Figs 10–19. LM views of a size diminution series. Fig. 20. SEM external view of several frustules connected to form a long colony. Fig. 21. SEM external view of the open, perforated girdle bands. Note the valvocopula. Fig. 22. SEM view of two valves connected by linking spines. Fig. 23. SEM external detail of the linking spines. Note also the structure of the areolae and the large siliceous plaques. Fig. 24. SEM external view of a valve in girdle view with a good observation of the spines, the mantle edge and the areolae. Fig. 25. SEM external valve face view showing the marginal areolae and the location of the spines on the valve face/mantle junction. Fig. 26. SEM external detail of the linking spines. Fig. 27. SEM external valve face view with eroded valves and distinct marginal valve face areolae. Fig. 28. SEM internal view of an entire valve. Note the areola occlusions and the shallow Ringleiste. Scale bars represent 10 µm except for Figs 22, 24 & 25 where scale bar = 1 µm.	FIGURES 1–28. Aulacoseira westfjordensis Van de Vijver, L.Willems & Pottiez, sp. nov.
