Species are characterized by broad wing-like extensions of the elevations fitting into V-shaped deep furrows on mantle of adjacent valve. Labiate process marginal; areola array irregular. Diameter 5-75 µm, pervalvar axis 87-200 µ; 18-30 valve striae in 10 µm (Hasle and Syvertsen, 1997).

Dimensions:
Cells length 65-95 µm; diameter 22-37 µm.

Distribution:
Coastal warm-water species.

Sites of occurrence in RSA:
In Winter 2006 Cruise, this species occurred at two sites (refer sites map), usually in small numbers; maximum abundance (1.7*10^3cells/l) was associated with the Sea of Oman (St.22a). It has been previously reported from Kuwaiti waters of the inner RSA (Al-Kandari et
