DESCRIPTION AND ILLUSTRATIONGrolle (1961) as Tetracymbaliella ratiana.
COMMENTSThis species is very distinctive by the conspicuous pouches on leaf and underleaf margins. This character is shared with Tetracymbaliella cymbalifera (New Zealand) that might introduce some misidentification (see below). T. ratiana is distinguished from the latter by: 1) larger trigones almost as wide as the cell lumina; 2) pouches longer than wide; 3) dorsal leaf margins not connivent; and 4) leaf cells strongly mammillose.
