O. Romero et P. Rivera, MORPHOLOGY OF DIPLOMENORA-COCCONEIFORMA ( SCHMIDT) BLAZE (BACILLARIOPHYCEAE) FROM CHILEAN MARINE WATERS, Cryptogamie. Algologie, 15(3), 1994, pp. 213-220
Diplomenora cocconeiforma (Schmidt) Blaze is cited for the first time
for chilean marine waters. Morphological differences were found with c
ells from other localities: valve outline, number of rimoportulae and
ornamentation of the cingulum. The affinities of this species with som
e morphologically similar taxa are discussed.
