Description: L 19.2um, Br ssp 18.6um, Br csp 20.8um, Isth 6.7um. Spines ca 1.1um long. (fig. 10f) In face view the semicells were narrowly oval with the sides tipped with a short spine. Cells had a narrow isthmus and an open sinus. This taxon agrees with Croasdale et al 1994, (p.53, pl. 73, fig.2) who state that its distribution is widespread in New Zealand. (Dingley 2001).
