Apical cells conical to conical-rounded. Cells cylindrical to subquadratical, 2.36–6.33 µm wide, 2.35–6.46 µm long. Cell content granulated, blue-green. Basal or intercalary heterocytes, semielliptical, sub-quadratic to cylindrical 3.43–6.48 µm wide, 3.07–7.77 µm long. Necridia present.

Habitat: —Rock.

Notes: —This morphotype is similar to Kryptousia macronema Alvarenga, Andreote, Branco & Fiore , but differs by habitat, being K. macronema described from mangrove ( Alvarenga et al. 2017).
