  • Gloeothece tepidariorum (A.Braun) Lagerheim (1883: 44) (Figs. 2I–2J). Basionym: Gloeocapsa tepidariorum A. Braun in Rabenhorst (1865: 38). Round to oblong colonies, 18.9–45.7 μm diam. Sheath firm, hyaline, conspicuous, intensely lamellate, smooth to finely granulated (rare). Cells oblong to ellipsoid, 6.1–11.1 × 4.4–5.5 μm, 1.7–2.2 times longer than wide. Cell content finely granulated, greyish green to olive green. Habitat: —Concrete wall. Notes: — Gloeothece tepidariorum was found together with populations of Gloeothece interspersa Gardner (1927: 13), both differing mainly by cell dimensions, with G. tepidariorum larger than G. interspersa.
