original description
Lim, H. C.; Teng, S. T.; Leaw, C. P.; Lim, P. T. (2013). Three novel species in the Pseudo-nitzschia pseudodelicatissima complex: P. batesiana sp. nov., P. lundholmiae sp. nov., and P. fukuyoi sp. nov. (Bacillariophyceae) from the Strait of Malacca, Malaysia. <em>Journal of Phycology.</em> 49(5): 902-916, 8 figs., available online at https://doi.org/10.1111/jpy.12101 [details] Available for editors
From regional or thematic species database
Distribution P. batasiana has presently been found in Malaysian waters [details]
Harmful effect A strain from Borneo has been found to produce domoic acid (0.20 fg per cell) [details]
Identification P. batesiana is among species in the morphological P. pseudodelicatissima complex, characterised by the low density of insterstriae (29-32 in 10 µm). It most closely resembles P. cuspidata, P. pseudodelicatissima and P. fryxelliana, but differs from these because of a lower density in interstriae, fibulae and band striae.
