Description
Summary:Licmophora luxuriosa Heiden (Figure 34) Literature: (Al-Handal and Wulff 2008b, p. 429, figs. 9–15; Heiden and Kolbe 1928, p. 572, pl. 6, figs. 140, 141; Simonsen 1992, p. 28, pl. 25, figs. 1–7, pl. 27, figs. 1–3). Description: Length 80–88 µm, width 8–9 µm, striae 8–9 in 10 µm. Remarks: Few specimens were observed on the sediment and appeared with slightly denser striae than normally found in this species (5–6 in 10 µm). Ecology and distribution: A marine epiphytic species, rarely found in the plankton or attached to sediment grains. Only known from the Southern seas and Antarctica (Al-Handal and Wulff 2008b). Rare in Potter Cove.
