Biddulphiaceae

Biddulphiaceae is a family of diatom, the only family in the order Biddulphiales.

[1] The Biddulphiaceae are distinguished from the Eupodiscaceae by their pseudocelli, where the Eupodiscaceae have fully developed ocelli.

[3] Sixteen species of Biddulphiaceae are found on the west coast of India.
