Description Cells collected in natural environments were large in size, but shape and plate patterns were not different from cultured cells. The shape was ovate, broad oval, or tearshaped; dorso-ventral depth (DV) was 91 ± 2 μm (87–95 μm, n = 30), width (W) was 77 ± 3 μm (71–85 μm, n = 30); DV:W ratio was 1.18 ± 0.3 7 (1.0–1.3, n = 30), length (L, apical-antapical dimension) 23–26 μm, (n = 2). The epi- and hypotheca were slightly convex and the cingulum sigmoid due to undulation of cell. The tabulation was APC 4' 6″ 6c 4(?)s 5‴ 2⁗. The Po-plate was strongly eccentric and had a narrow, slitlike apical pore, 13–18 μm long. The 4'-plate was the most conspicuous apical plate; it was elongated, hexagonal, and adjoins the 1'-, 2″-, Po, 1″-, 5″-, 6″-plates, and the sites adjoining the 1″ and 5″ were parallel. The 2'-plate was long and extended to connect to the 3″-plate, thus separating the 3'- and 2″-plates. The 3'-plate was hexagonal adjoining the 2', 4', 3″, 4″, 5″, and the Po-plate for a short distance. The 1‴-plate was small and triangular in shape, while the 2‴–5‴-plates were much larger and about similar in size. The 2⁗-plate was slightly wedged-shaped and located near the center of the hypotheca; the 1⁗ was small. The sulcus was narrow and short, and there were four sulcal plates which were partly covered by the lists of the 5‴- and 1⁗-plates. A small ventral opening (Vo) was present. The thecal plates were smooth and had pores of two size classes: large round pores lined by a shallow elevated rim, 0.39 ± 0.06 μm in diameter (0.26 ± 0.47 μm, n = 30), and smaller pores with a diameter of 0.05 ± 0.03 μm (0.03–0.10, n = 16) were visible only by SEM.

[details]Harmful effect Producer of ostreocin A, B, D and E1, analogues of PLTX. Toxic strains known from Japan (Usami et al. 1995; Ukena et al. 2001), Tahiti (Chomérat et al. 2020), South China Sea (Gu et al. 2022) and New Zealand (Rhodes et al. 2002). [details]
Identification Two morphological features observed in the material studied by Nugyen-Ngoc et al. (2021) may be of taxonomic significance: the shape of the 2'-plate and the micro-morphology of the pores on the thecal plates. The 2'-plate is long and connects to the 3″-plate, thus separating the 3'- and 2″-plates. Most studies of Ostreopsis species including the type species (Schmidt 1901) are not sufficiently detailed to establish the exact shape of the 2'-plate. Verma et al. (2016a) describing O. rhodesiae regarded a long 2'-plate separating the 3'- and 2″-plates (3'- and 3″-plates in the terminology used by Verma et al. 2016a) as a characteristic feature of O. rhodesiae and O. heptagona, but this particular feature seems to occur also in other species. A long 2'-plate is found in Ostreopsis sp. 6 from French Polynesia (Chomérat et al. 2020b) and in O. cf. ovata (Besada et al. 1982; fig. 4) and in the culture strain CBA-6 (as O. cf. ovata) from Indonesia (Penna et al. 2010, fig. 2c; Parsons et al. 2012, fig. 2), which belong the SE Asian clade of O. cf. ovata (Tawong et al. 2014). Rhodes (2011, fig. 2—identical to Faust et al. 1996, fig. 10) shows two cells of Ostreopsis, misidentified as O. lenticularis, with a long 2'-plate. These cells were collected in Puerto Rico and are morphologically similar to the cells identified here as O. siamensis, O. lenticularis has a short obtuse 2'-plate which does not separate the 3'- and 2″-plates (Chomérat et al. 2019, Nguyen-Ngoc et al. 2022). The thecal pores in O. siamensis are lined by a shallow rim which is also seen in Rhodes (2011; Fig. 2) but not in Faust et al. (1996; fig. 15, misidentified as O. lenticularis), nor in species assigned to O. cf. siamensis, see below. Chomérat et al. (2020b) found a similar type of large thecal pores in Ostreopsis sp. 6 from French Polynesia. However, with the current lack of knowledge of the morphological variability within the Ostreopsis, more studies are needed in order to assess the taxonomic value of these features. [details]
