Identification Safe identification requires electron microscopy. Prymnesium foveolatum may be identified by the structure of the two types of organic scales on the cell, both of which are species diagnostic. Scales of the inner layers have radiating lines and a central, variously-shaped X-like structure. The outer scales possess radiating lines covered on the dorsal side by an alveolate pattern that extends to the scale rim. The species is also characterized by the lowest haptonema/flagella ratio reported in Prymnesium>/i> c. (0.15), flagella measuring 14-16 µm in length and the haptonema 2-2.3 µm [details]

Description Cells oblong-very elongated. Flagella subequal, haptonema much shorter. Cells are covered with two types of elliptic, plare-like scales. Scales of the inner layers have radiating lines and a central variously-shaped X-like structure. The outer scales possess radiating lines covered on the dorsal side by an alveolate pattern.extending to the scale rim. [details]Distribution P. faveolatum is presently known from France only.
