Staurodesmus triangularis var. brevispina (V. & P. Allorge) P.F.M. Coesel & K.J. Meesters 2013

It differs in having the spines less than two-thirds the breadth of the cell body. The isthmus is usually angular at its apex but can also be rounded (rounded and elongate isthmuses may suggest the start of division). The spines are usually parallel but occasionally slightly decumbent.
Cell dimensions: L: 20-26 µm; B: 16-21.6 µm; Is: 4.8-8.4 µm; Th: 7.7 µm; Sp: 5-9 µm; Overall B: 30-47.
An acidophile found in moorland pools and bogs including with Sphagnum. Infrequently recorded.
