Description Lens-shaped, anterio-posteriorly compressed. Thecal surface smooth, covered with evenly distributed fine pores. Apical pore plate oval with fish-hook shaped pore. The 1p plate comparatively narrow. The ratio of the 2’/2’’ suture length to the 2’/4’’ suture length is 0.36. [details]Harmful effect Producer of ciguatoxin- and maitotoxin-like toxins (Chinain et al. 1999). 44-methylgambierone and gambierone have also been demonstrated (Murray et al. 2019; 2021). [details]
