Scrippsiella sweeneyae, Balech ex A.R.Loeblich III, 1995
Morphological Characteristics

Solitary thecate cell of small dimensions, spherical in shape. The cell surface is smooth with small scattered pores. The cingulum divides the cell into two parts: the epitheca, and the hypotheca. the sulcus is short and limited to the hypotheca. Scattered around the cell are numerous chloroplasts

Planktonic.

Distribution: Asia: Japan (Gottschling et al. 2005).

 

Notes

This species is differentiated by its pear shape, narrow 1', and apical process. It is very similar to S. mimima, which is smaller, and both have 5s, but they differ in sulcal plate pattern and cingular plate location.
