Chrysochromulina adriatica

Original description: Diagnosis. Cell subspherical, 5-8 µm long x 6-9 µm wide; two flagella 8-10 µm long and a hap- tonema 6-10 µm long when extended. Scales of two types, both plate-like. Under-layer of scales 1.8 - 2.5 µm long x 1.2 - 1.5 µm wide with a pattern of curved and sparse ridges radiating from the centre to a thickened margin on the distal surface. Outer layer of scales approximately circular 1.8 - 2.5 µm in diameter; pattern similar to that of the under-layer scales but with a patternless margin on the distal surface. 

Description. The small subspherical cell has two flagella and a slightly shorter hapto- nema (PI. VI A). The scales are of two types. The underlying scales are oval flat plates displaying an arrangement of approximately concentric ridges dominated by radiating ridges equally visible on both surfaces (PI. VIB). The outer layer of circular scales are similar in patterning and construction to the underlying oval plates (PI. VI c). The margin of the distal surface is distinguished by a flap of scale material which, in whole mounts, appears to collapse inwards on to the surface of the scale. Sections are required to deter- mine the precise relationship between the scale and margin.

Plot of occurrence data:

• Range-bar - range as quoted above, pink interval top occurs in, green interval base occurs in.
• Triangles indicate an event for which a precise placement has been suggested.
• (NB There is no histogram as there are no occurrence records for the taxon in the Neptune database) Parent: affinity not established
