Apices protracted, rostrate to weakly capitate. Valve dimensions (n=25): length 12–24 µm, width 3–3.5 µm. Keel round, slightly elevated from the valve face and mantle. Raphe filiform, eccentrically placed on one side to the valve, continuously running from one apex to another. Terminal raphe fissures hooked. Internally, terminal raphe ends on small helictoglossa. Fibulae equidistant throughout, small, square to rectangular, connected to 2–3 striae, 11–14 in 10 µm. Striae coarse, uniseriate, composed of irregularly transapically elongated areolae, 23–28 in 10 µm. Internally, areolae are occluded with a fine poroid hymen plate.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/D534BB19FFE38471FFD8FCD3FDEE61AA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Apices acutely rounded, not protracted. Valve dimensions (n=15): length 30–48 µm, width 8–10 µm. Axial area narrow, linear. Central area small, elliptical. Raphe straight, filiform. Central raphe endings simple, straight. Terminal raphe fissures unilaterally bent. Internally central raphe endings located on a very weakly raised central nodule. Distal raphe endings terminating internally onto very small helictoglossae. Striae uniseriate, parallel to very weakly radiate in the middle, becoming convergent at the apices, 19–20 in 10 µm. Near the central area, striation pattern slightly irregular with occasionally one smaller stria inserted. Areolae apically elongated, rectangular, rather small, ca 40 in 10 µm. Virgae as broad as the striae.</p><p>Cholnoky, B.J. (1963). Beiträge zur Kenntnis der Ökologie der Diatomeen des Swakop-Flusses in Südwest-Afrika.
