Latviensis. 3, p. 114. 1928 (as S. ivillei var. acanthophora).<br />
Vegetative cells 30-38 /.a x 75-350/1, with replicate end walls; 3 to 4<br />
chromatophores, making .5 to 1.5 turns in the cell; conjugation scalar-<br />
iform; tubes formed by both gametangia; receptive gametangia inflated<br />
to 50-70 /J.; zygospores ellipsoid, 42-60 /x x 80-1 40 /x; median wall irreg-<br />
ularly spinose-reticulate, yellow-brcjwn. (Pi. XXXVIIl, Figs. 16-17.)<br />
Latvia, Kemeri.<br />
This species differs from the next (No. 252) in the more prominent<br />
spines on the reticulum of the median spore wall, and in the decreased<br />
reflexing of conjugating gametangia.
