Guide to Cymbopleura edlundii

- Valves lanceolate
- Apices subrostrate, rounded
- Axial area wide
- Raphe distinctly lateral
- Stria density higher near apices
Cymbopleura edlundii has lanceolate valves with rounded, subrostrate apices. The axial and central areas are very wide, 1/2 to 1/3 the width of the valve. The raphe is distinctly lateral, becoming weakly reverse-lateral at the proximal and distal ends. Striae number 9-13 in 10 µm at the center and 14-16 in 10 µm near the apices.
