Fig. 27 h-i

Description. This species has a similar outline as L. muelleri but displays a different kind of ornamentation pattern. It varies from being rather smooth to containing weakly pronounced elongated meshes that are concentrated in the median area of the valve and runs weakly pronounced towards the ventral margin. Additionally, random distributed pores can be observed. Dimension: L = 0,50 – 0,53 mm, H = 0,30 – 0,31 mm, the minimum sizes include juveniles too.
