Navicymbula
Asymmetry to apical axis slight
Striae lineolate
Distal raphe fissures dorsally deflected
The valve outline is very slightly asymmetric to the apical axis, so that valves are nearly naviculoid in appearance. The raphe is positioned in a nearly central position on valve. The distal raphe fissures are deflected dorsally. Each areola is, more specifically, a lineola. Therefore, striae are lineolate. Valves lack apical pore...
