Morphology and taxonomy of Neohuttonia reichardtii (Grunow) O. Kuntze (Bacillariophyta) from southern Brazil
Palavras-chave:
epipsammic marine diatom, Neohuttonia, fine structure.Resumo
The fine structure of the rarely recorded epipsammic marine diatom Neohuttonia reichardtii (Grunow) O. Kuntze was studied in detail using samples from Porto Belo sandy beaches
(Santa Catarina State, Brazil). Neohuttonia reichardtii is characterized by its twisted frustule with one ocellus at each pole, two pseudosepta and one central rimoportula per valva. It is described and illustrated from LM and SEM pictures. Its taxonomic position is discussed taking into account the Triceratiaceae family.
