Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
W. Smith 1853Genus 14. TRYBLIONELLA, W. Sm.
Frustules free, elliptical or linear; valves plane; alas subraarginal or obsolete ; canaliculi inconspicuous, parallel.
This genus differs from Campylodiscus in the more elongated form of its frustules and the absence of the characteristic bend in its valves ; the canaliculi are also more minute and parallel rather than radiating. It agrees with Surirella in the presence of alee, but these arise from the disc, and are not, as in Surirella, prolongations of the margin. It is also distinguished by its less conspicuous canaliculi, and by the frustule never assuming the cuneate form so notable in Surirella.
