Diagnostic Description
(
英語
)
由Harmful Phytoplankton Project提供
Cells are medium sized. The epitheca is usually a little shorter than the hypotheca, somewhat flattened ventrally and sometimes slightly depressed at the apex. The sides are slightly concave about the cingulum. The hypotheca is more or less trapezoidal. The cingulum is well excavated. It does not have lists but it does have reinforced margins. The sulcus on the other hand is narrow and not very well excavated.
