Samples: Moen1_ Halimeda

Dimensions: 91.2 μm long, 5.0–10.3 μm wide; 20 striae in 10 μm, 21–23 areolae in 10 μm, 7–9 fibulae in 10 μm.

Comments: Although this is similar to the freshwater species N. sigma (Kützing) W. Smith, Hofmann et al. (2011) note that there are many marine forms that are differentiated from it (and each other) only with great difficulty.
