Cells rodlike, cylindrical. Diameter 4-20 µm. Valves conical, only slightly oblique. Apical process cylindrical, thickened for some distance from base,solid at base or with a very fine canal in the center, with a very long, fine,straight spine. Intercalary bands scale-like, two long bands pointing toward apex. Cell wall thin, weakly siliceous, without distinct or visible structure.Chromatophores numerous, small, elliptical (Cupp, 1943).
