- Diagnosis
- Filaments slender, nonseptate (?), unbranched, straight, gently curved or strongly sinuous. They range from smooth~urfaced, light-brown, empty tubes to densely granular, dark-brown, solid cylinders. Lateral wall varies from a distinct thin wall of consistent thickness to an intermittent or poorly defined boundary. Specimens solitary or irregularly entangled in a woven mat-like cluster. Individuals generally of uniform diameter, ranging from 1.6 to 7.8 ~m and averaging 3.78 #m (standard deviation = 1.24 ~m; 375 specimens measured). Length may exceed 100 ~m, occasionally sharply fragmented. Characteristical hollow nature of filaments shown by circular openings observed in transversal sections.
