Published in: Ross, R., & Sims, P. A. (2000). A revision of Actinodiscus Greville, Craspedoporus Greville and related genera (Eupodiscaceae). Diatom Research, 15(2), 285–347. https://doi.org/10.1080/0269249X.2000.9705500. The original A. grayii name is assigned to two new names – Actinodiscus corolla and Actinodiscus contabulatus. Based on the appearance I think this is likely A. corolla however I am not 100% on that.

I recently acquired about 60 slides by this maker, so if you want to see others by them, search for AAAAA in the Search option at the top of the page, and I’ll include this in each of the pages for them.
