Luticola nosybeana sp. nov. LM images. Valve views, showing variation in size and outline. Fig. 2p presents the holotype. Scale bar = 10 µm

Figure 3a–f

Luticola nosybeana sp. nov. SEM images. External valve views. Figs 3a–d: whole valve with straight axial area, expanded at the center to form a wide, asymmetrical, deltoid or rectangular fascia and isolated pore opening (arrow in Fig. 3b). Fig. 3e: proximal raphe endings, hooked to the side opposite the isolated pore, continuing with irregular, shallow, T-shaped or L-shaped grooves. Note the presence of a few slit-like or elliptic irregular surface depressions (“ghost areolae”) within the central area (arrow). Fig. 3f: distal raphe end curved and not extending onto the mantle

Figure 4a–f

Luticola nosybeana sp. nov. SEM images. Internal valve views. Figs 4a, 4b, 4d: whole valve views with the marginal canal and isolated pore. Fig. 4c: distal raphe branch terminating in small helictoglossa (arrow). Fig. 4e: close-up of the valve interior showing the hymenate occlusions of areolae (arrow) and the marginal narrow channel, located at the valve face/mantle junction (arrowhead). Fig. 4f: central area with a small, round isolated pore opening covered by large, triangular structure (arrow)

Figure 6a–f

Luticola madagascarensis sp. nov. SEM external valve views. Figs 6a, 6b, 6d: entire valve showing a narrow axial area expanded at the center to form a wide symmetrical, bow-tie shaped fascia on both valve margins. A single isolated pore (arrow in Fig. 6a) is present. Figs 6c, 6f: distal raphe fissures hooked on the same side, extending to the valve mantle. Fig. 6e: proximal raphe endings hooked to the opposite side of the isolated pore, continuing with irregular, shallow, elongated, L-shaped grooves (arrow)
