Internal valve structure of Mastogloia rostrata , Climacosphenia moniligeraand Diatomella salina var. brevistriata was examined with the SEM. Intercalary septalbands were found in the three species and displayed similar basic characteristics. The septalbands of M. rostrata and C. moniligera possessed interdigitating cross septa at their minimumtransapical dimensions. These cross septa were morphologically similar in these twospecies and judged simpler than those observed in D. salina var, brevistriata. The cross septain the latter species differed in two respects: 1) they occurred near the maximum transapicaldimension of the valve, and, 2) appeared as an interlocking joint. The functions of theseinternal cross septal connections were attributed to stability against mechanical forces.
