03B008573302FFB9FF52FA947EC9C57A.taxon	description	Description: — LM: Valves elliptico-lanceolate or rhomboid with slightly undulate margins. Apices narrowly rounded and moderately protracted. Valve length 43 – 55 μm, breadth 11 – 14 μm (n = 30). The longitudinal ribs slightly curved. On the valve face, the striation patterns are weakly discernible under LM. Striae absent within the central area, forming a dumbbell-shaped hyaline zone (Figs 1 – 14). SEM: External view, the striae parallel at the valve center and slightly convergent towards the apices, with 36 – 40 striae per 10 μm (Fig. 15). Striae wavy along the length of the valve (Figs 15 – 16). The valve ends circumradiated by one or two rows of areolae (Figs 18 – 19). Areolae rounded to elliptical at the valve center and more slit-like distally, with 33 – 36 areolae per 10 μm (Figs 17 – 18). Striae absent within the central area, forming a dumbbell-shaped hyaline zone (Figs 16 – 17). The raphe is filiform, and both the proximal and the terminal raphe ends are T-shaped (Figs 17 – 19). Internal view, areolae have circular to rectangular hymenes (Fig. 22). Both the longitudinal ribs and the raphe slightly curved (Fig. 20), while both proximal and terminal raphe ends are straight (Figs 21 – 24). At the apices, the longitudinal ribs and the helictoglossae fuse to form a small porte-crayon (Fig. 24).	en	Luo, Fen, You, Qingmin, Yu, Pan, Wang, Quanxi (2022): Frustulia hengduanensis sp. nov. a new diatom (Bacillariophyceae) from Hengduan Mountains, China.
