Treatment

Entomoneis gigantea (Grunow) Nizamuddin ( Figure 102 View Figures 93–106 )

Literature: ( Grunow 1860, p. 568, pl. 4, fig. 12 as Amphiprora gigantea ; Nizamuddin 1983, p. 704).

Description: Length 92–110 µm, 15–18 µm, striae 14–18 in 10 µm.

Remarks: Specimens observed in the present study appeared to have slightly denser striae than previously reported from Potter Cove (Al-Handal and Wulff 2008a).

Ecology and distribution: A widely distributed marine benthic species, also reported from sub-Arctic regions (Scholz and Einarsson 2015). Rare in Potter Cove.
