- Diagnosis
- Fusiform frustules with a slightly wider area in the center of the long axis as seen in valvar view, and a rectangular shape in perivalvar view. They lack ornamentation and a raphe, and generally form filaments. Individual cells unite with neighbouring cells by means of cell wall projections that give the cells an H-shape in apical view.
