Gogorevia rostellata

Valves are linear-elliptic with narrow subcapitate apices. The raphe valve has a very narrow axial area that widens abruptly into a transverse fascia. The fascia is shaped like a bow tie and sometimes bordered by a few shortened striae. On the rapheless valve, the axial area is wider and expands gradually to merge with an asymmetric, irregular transverse central area. The raphe is straight. The terminal fissures appear to curve in opposite directions. The proximal raphe ends are expanded in the shape of tear drops. Striae on the rapheless valve are nearly parallel at the valve center but otherwise radiate, more so near the apices. Striae on the rapheless valve are also more closely spaced near the apices. Striae on the raphe valve are strongly radiate throughout and a bit more closely spaced near the apices.

Cleve-Euler (1953) amended her original description to confirm the presence of a fascia and to give more a accurate stria count: 24 in 10 µm on the rapheless valve and about 30 in 10 µm on the raphe valve.
