FIGURES 24–32. Divergita straight species. Figs 24, 25. LM images of Divergita spp. Fig. 24. Divergita sp., Yap specimen is a possible example of D. biformis, but is from a different location (Y36) from the SEM holotype. Fig. 25. Divergita sp., Guam specimen, possibly D. decipiens, from the same location (GU52) as the holotype, but a different collection date. D. biformis has also been seen in SEM of samples from GU52, it is not possible to tell which species is shown here. Figs 26–28. Divergita biformis, sp. nov., SEM. Holotype specimen whole mount on stub 1116, Y45-5, whole valve and details of apex and center, showing narrow, linear sternum and areola pattern. Figs. 29–33. Divergita decipiens, sp. nov. SEM. Figs 29–31. Holotype specimen whole mount on stub 566, GU52R-2, external views, showing broad, lanceolate sternum. Fig. 32. Disassociated frustule from same sample, showing interior features of rimoportula (arrow) and foramina, along with external view showing that this is not Hyalosynedra. Scale bars: Figs 24–26, 29 = 10 µm, Figs 27, 28, 30–32 = 2 µm.
