Basionym: Tetraparma gracilis Konno, Ohira, Komuro, Harada, & Jordan 2007

Catalog entries: T. gracilis [no catalog entry yet]


Morphology:

Cells solitary, spherical, 2.3-2.5μm in diameter. Plates without papillae. All plates lack a central mound, but have a central process 0.7-0.8μm long. Processes on girdle and dorsal plates slender, those on shield and ventral plates appear bifurcate. Plates with a smooth, slightly raised margin. Shield plates ca.1.3-1.8μm in diameter. Triradiate girdle plates ca.1μm long (measured along the dorso-ventral plane, from end to central structure). Arms of dorsal plate, ca.1μm long. Ventral plate ca.1.2μm in diameter.
