Species Praehedbergella handousi Salaj 1984


Discussion / Comments:
Boudagher-Fadel et al. (1997):
Remarks: Although the three figures assigned by Salaj (1984) to the holotype of C. handousi seem to belong to different specimens (the dorsal view not corresponding to the ventral and side views), they should all be included under Praehedbergella. P. handousi has four chambers in the last whorl. The chambers of the last whorl enlarge rapidly and are only slightly depressed (h/L = 0.81 approx.). The dorsal surface is flat, the test being ventro-dorsally compressed (d/t = 0.11 approx.). The intra-extraumbilical aperture is a low slit, possessing a thin rim. The umbilicus is broad and shallow (u/uh = 0.47 approx.). This species differs from P. tuschepsensis (Antonova) in having a more compressed test and a shallower umbilicus.
