Compare
Gomphonema duplipunctatum may be distinguished from G. parvulum and other small species of Gomphonema by its rhombic-lanceolate valves, unprotracted apices, and the two isolated stigmoids in the central area. Gomphonema germainii is similar outline and stria density but differs by having a single stigmoid. Gomphonema signyensis also has two stigmoids and overlaps in size, but differs in valve outline.
