03928788120DFFCB0592F9BA2F17F9EB.taxon	description	SEM observations (2 A – H, 3 A – H): — Externally, striae composed by 3 – 4 areolae per striae, rounded, sometimes enlarged near the valve face margin (Figs 2 A – D, 3 A, B). Internally, areolae covered by hymen forming continuous strip, separated by not thickened virgae (Figs 3 C). Single row of areolae (interrupted on the apices) present also on valve mantle (Figs 2 C, D, G, 3 A, B, G). Both, valve face and mantle areolae circular in shape. Isolated pore rounded, located in the central part of the central area, almost between proximal raphe endings (Figs 2 A – F, 3 A, B, E). Raphe branches straight and filiform, with proximal endings pore-like shaped and curved away of isolated pore bearing side (Figs 2 A – F, 3 A, B, E). Distal raphe endings pore-like shaped, terminating onto valve face, only slightly bent away of isolate pore bearing side (Figs 2 A – D, G, 3 A, B, G). Internally, isolated pore opening small, c-shaped, positioned midway between valve margin and the central area (Fig. 3 F). Longitudinal channels located along on both sides of valves (Fig 3 C). Externally, central area bow-tie shaped with a smooth surface (Figs 2 c, 3 A, B). Girdle bands with two rows of poroids (Fig 3 D). No morphological differences were observed between the European and North American populations.	en	Rybak, Mateusz, Getler, Karol, Kociolek, John Patrick (2024): Luticola centraloporea sp. nov. - a new diatom (Bacillariophyceae: Diadesmidaceae) species from Europe and North America.
