This species displays a pronounced lateral flattening, with two flagella emerging from a pore field near the apex. Notably, a prominent spine is visible at the cell apex in Prorocentrum micans. The two valves are marked by a series of pores and depressions. Small pores, arranged in distinct rows, extend from the cell margin toward the center.
