Description Plate formula of Po, cp, X, 4', 2a, 6'', 6c, PC, 5+s, 5''', 0p, and 2''''. Anterior intercalary plates are diamond-shaped and nearly square. Motile stages are small, biflagellated cells 9.6 to 15.7 lm long. Biflagellated stages, including gametes, and triflagellated planozygote stages. Cingulum slightly subequatorial, slightly displaced. Nucleus spherical, typical dinokaryon present in the hypotheca. Temporary benthic or resting cyst stages present. Nutrition is heterotrophic, by myzocytosis by means of a tubular peduncle. From Mason et al. 2007. [details]

Description Plate formula of Po, cp, X, 4', 2a, 6'', 6c, PC, 5+s, 5''', 0p, and 2''''. Anterior intercalary plates are diamond-shaped and nearly square. Motile stages are small, biflagellated cells 9.6 to 15.7 lm long. Biflagellated stages, including gametes, and triflagellated planozygote stages. Cingulum slightly subequatorial, slightly displaced. Nucleus spherical, typical dinokaryon present in the hypotheca. Temporary benthic or resting cyst stages present. Nutrition is heterotrophic, by myzocytosis by means of a tubular peduncle. From Mason et al. 2007. [details]Identification Luciella atlantis can be distinguished from L. masanensis, as well as other Pfiesteria-like dinoflagellates, by a larger cell size, the conical shape of the epitheca and hypotheca, the presence of an asymmetrical hypotheca, and the rhombic shape of the intercalary plates. The sulcal region of L. masanensis is similar in organization to that reported for other Pfiesteria-like dinoflagellates in terms of the overall plate sizes, orientation of the sulcal plates, and the presence of a PC (Steidinger et al. 2006, fig. 3; Jeong et al. 2005, figs. 1–5; Litaker et al. 2005, figs. 4 and 5). However, the sulcal area of L. atlantis further demonstrated a pronounced groove through the s.s. and s.p. and a variation in the configuration of the sulcus in the area of the s.m. Specifically, the s.a. and s.s. surround the s.m., preventing contact between the s.m. and the 1c plate, as in L. masanensis and the other genera within the Pfiesteriaceae. [details]
