Angusticopula rowlingiana, a new melosiroid diatom (Bacillariophyta) from Ascension Island (South Atlantic Ocean)
Abstract: During a diatom survey of some samples from Ascension Island, a remote island located in the southern Atlantic Ocean, an unknown melosiroid diatom species was studied using both light and scanning electron microscopy. It proved to be a new species described as Angusticopula rowlingiana sp....

It proved to be a new species described as Angusticopula rowlingiana sp. nov. and characterized by a large number of narrow copulae in the girdle, a marginal ring of small granules, very small pores covering the entire valve face and occasionally having internal valves.
