61E9F804E0AC59248751A40915BCB6A9.taxon	description	Description. LM observations (Fig. 2 A-I): The cells are connected to each other to form short chains and they live in groups. The girdle is comprised of several plain and open bands. The valves are linear elliptic with two costae that are straight or slightly curved to the outside and protrude deeply into the valve. The valve is 6 - 10 μm long and 2.4 - 3 μm wide. SEM observations (Figs 3, 4): Through the observation of the samples treated by the critical point drying method, the cells on the girdle band valve are rectangular (Fig. 3 A), with a wrapped layer of membrane. Several girdle bands (Fig. 3 D) are connected between the epitheca and hypotheca valves. The girdle band has fine vertical lines (Fig. 3 D) but no obvious spot pattern. Areolae can be observed at both ends of the valve, and the area of the areolae extends to the sternum, but there are no areolae or other cell structures in the middle of the cell (Fig. 3 A, B). There is a circle of spines for cell connection at the edge of the valve (Fig. 3 A-D). The single row of slightly radial striae is distributed at both ends of the cell (Fig. 3 A). Observation of the samples processed by the acidification method showed striae at both ends of the cells and a narrow sternum in the center of the cells in the area of striae, but the sterna were not obvious. To the two ends of the valve, the striae at both ends of the valve extended from the valve in a single row, and the number of striae was 50 - 60 in 10 μm. The areolae on the valve are round, small, simple, and have no complex structure, such as a cribrum. A small circular area free of areolae is distinctly set off from the striae, and can be observed at the apical part of mantle area with several elongate areolae following the general pattern of the mantle (Fig. 3 E, F). On the edge of the valve, there is a row of densely distributed small spines. Internally, the valves are divided into three sectors by robust costae (Fig. 4 A, C). The interior of the valve face is flat, the transition from the valve face to the mantle is abrupt (Fig. 4 A). The transapical striae are composed internally of small, round areolae, and they are parallel in the middle to slightly radiate at the apices. The sternum is narrow and linear, set off by costae (Fig. 4 A).	en	Liu, Honghan, Wang, Zhen, Wu, Weiwei, Li, Chenhong, Zhang, Jiawei, Gao, Yahui, Li, Xuesong, Sun, Lin, Liang, Junrong, Zhang, Jun, Chen, Changping (2022): A new marine epipsammic diatom species, Ambo dajingensis sp. nov.
