Catalog entries: Chrysochromulina ahrengotii
Original description: Cell saddle-shaped, subspherical to rhomboid in outline, typically 5-6 µm long and 4-5 µm wide. Two yellow-green chloroplasts. Two equal flagella, 12-21 µm long. One coiling haptonema, 54-74 µm long. Two types of scales. An inner layer of plate scales, measuring 0.28-0.69 X 0.25-0.46 µm, with a pattern of sparse radiating ribs (c. 40) disappearing toward the center of the scale, and a narrow, marginal thick ening. Distal face of the scale with an inflexed rim, c. 0.05 µm wide, and a faint pattern of concentric fibrils. The outer layer consisting of spine scales with a diameter of 0.28-0.48 µm, spine length 0.20-0.43 µm. Spine supported by four struts, usually extending to a narrow marginal thickening. Proximal face of spine scale with c. 24 radiating ribs and a narrow marginal thickening. Distal, spine-bearing face with faint concentric fibrils.
