Asymmetrical biraphid
Cymbella
- Valves slightly to strongly asymmetric to the apical axis
- Valves symmetric to the transapical axis
- Distal raphe ends deflected dorsally
- Stigmata, if present, located on the ventral side
The valves of Cymbella are slightly to strongly dorsiventral, or asymmetric to the apical axis. Valves are symmetric to the transapical axis. The terminal raphe fissures are deflected to the dorsal side, an important diagnostic feature. Apical pore fields are present at both poles. Striae are uniseriate. One or more stigmata may be...
