Park, Joon Sang, Lobban, Christopher S. & Lee, Kyun-Woo, 2018, Diatoms associated with seaweeds from Moen Island in Chuuk Lagoon, Micronesia, Phytotaxa 351 (2), pp. 101-140 : 131

132. Nitzschia sp. 6 Fig. 156

References: Giffen (1970), p. 95; Lobban et al. (2012), p. 301, pl. 59, figs 3–5.

Samples: Moen2_ Halimeda

Dimensions: 44.5 μm long, 3.8 μm wide; 5 fibulae in 10 μm; striae not resolvable.

Comments: This and the next species of conopeate Nitzschia are impossible to determine in LM because of the presence of several species ultrastructurally distinct, often in the same sample (Lobban et al. in prep.)
