This species differs from N. brasiliensis in that the central area is wider, slightly panduri-form, while the puncta are regular near the central area; intergrades occur between the two species (Pl. 4, Fig. 54b), and it seems doubtful whether they can be maintained. Length. 80–90μ. Distribution. Australia: Port Hacking, Lake Macquarie, Gippsland Lakes. New Zealand: Auckland Harbour. Recorded from Australia by Østrup (1910). 197. Navicula radiosa Kütz. (Pl. 5. Fig. 55.) Kütz., 1844, 91. Boyer. 1927b, 3, 97. Cleve-Euler, 1953b, 816. Cells solitary; valves lanceolate, narrow, with sub-acute ends; axial area very narrow, indistinct; central area small; costae radiate in the middle, convergent at ends. Length, 80–120μ. Distribution. Fresh to brackish water Australia: Lake Dobson, Port Hacking. Recorded from Australia by Østrup (1910). 198. Navicula meniscula Schumann (Pl. 5, Fig. 56.) Schumann, 1864–9. Hust in A.S., 1934, 399, 30–33. Hohn, 1951, 16, 34, 129. Cells solitary, valves elliptic-lanceolate with acute ends; costate, punctate, somewhat irregular near central nodule. Length, 50μ.

Valves elliptic; lateral areas broad, constricted in middle, and tapering sharply at apices, with faint striae in middle of area; a row of punctate striae on each side of axial area; differs from N. lyra and N. hennedyi in shape of axial area. Striae radiate, coarse, parallel to transverse axis Length 70–110μ. Distribution. Australia: Port Hacking.
