Frustules rectangular in girdle view (Figs 2, 3); during development cells lack regular structure and hence lack rectangular outline (Fig. 3). Valves linear, with parallel margins, narrowing at both poles (Figs 4–10), which become protracted to rostrate (Figs 4–8, 10). Transapical axis 6–8 μm, apical axis 296–512 μm (n = 50), length-to-breadth ratio ca. 49–64. Sternum central, distinctive, regular, extending length of valve (Figs 4–10). Striae broad, mostly parallel, radiating only at poles; 8–9 in 10 μm. With respect to the sternum, striae pattern relatively uniform, most situated opposite one another, others not so (Figs 8–10, arrows). A single rimoportula present at each pole (Figs 8, 10). Central area absent (Figs 4–7, 9).</p> <p>SEM: Frustules forming colonies in bands, through interlocking linking spines (Figs 11–13, Figs 20–22). Frustule composed of epivalve and hypovalve, each with a set of closed girdle bands. For epivalve there is a valvocopula (B1) and three copulae (B2–B4) (Figs 11– 13). For hypovalve there is a valvocopula (B6) and a copula (B5) (Figs 11–13). Each band possessing a single row of poroids (Figs 11–13) that bisects pars interior and exterior, located at mid-line of each girdle band (Figs 20, 23). Valve face meets mantle at obtuse angle (Figs 16–22). Valves with uniseriate striae situated opposite each other, equidistant from sternum, radiating at poles, continuing onto valve mantle (Figs 16–20). Vimines form 5–8 apically elongated areolae either side of the valve sternum, 4–6 on the valve mantle (Figs 20–22). Often, a tiny poroid present in the terminal mantle areola (Figs 20–22, arrows). Each areola externally covered by velum (Fig. 19). A single rimoportula present at each pole, each a pair of simple extended lips, aligned within a shortened radiate stria (Figs 16, 18–20). Two horn-like outgrowths located on the surface of each ocellulimbus, the latter composed of c. 30 pervalvar and 7–14 transapical rows of porelli (Figs 19–22). Linking spines spatulate, situated at valve/mantle junction, each spine extending from a virga (Figs 20–22). Spines attach valves face to face by interlocking (Figs 11–13, 20–22). Mantle plaques absent (Figs 20–22). Internally, valves possessing parallel margins, with rostrate poles; striae uniseriate almost opposite each other, composed of 5–8 slightly apically elongated areolae that radiate at apices (Figs 26, 29).
