1. Aulacodiscus affinis Grunow ( Figs 10, 11 View FIGURES 2–11 )
Type locality: Gaz. Exped.; Japan.
References: Schmidt et al. 1874–1959, pl. 34, figs 9, 10; Siqueiros-Beltrones & Argumedo-Hernández 2014, figs 26–28.
Morphometrics: Valves 113–178 μm in diameter, striae radiate from the center, 5–8 in 10 μm, areolae 3–5 in 10 μm on a stria. Eight pseudocelli on elevations in the corner of valve.
Remarks: Aulacodiscus affinis is very rare worldwide and its existence is not well known. This taxon was only reported from a few localions worldwide, including the Pliocene sediments of Shikotan Island and Lesser Kuril Ridge in Russia ( Terekhov et al. 2011), and from Magdalena Bay along the western coast of the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico as epiphytes on red seaweed ( Siqueiros-Beltrones and Argumedo-Hernández 2014). It was also very rare in diatom assemblages obtained from the Seogwipo coast, Jeju Island, representing a new record for South Korea.
