Eunotia pseudoparallela guide
  1. Valve arcuate
  2. Valve margins parallel
  3. Apices broadly rounded
  4. Striae evenly spaced

Valves are arcuate, with parallel dorsal and ventral margins. Apices are broadly rounded. The raphe curves around the apices on the ventral side, nearly at the poles. Striae are evenly spaced throughout the valve face, becoming irregular near the distal raphe.
