Species Blefuscuiana laculata Banner et al. 1993

Discussion / Comments:

Boudagher-Fadel et al. (1997):
Remarks: B. laculata has five subglobular chambers (h/L = 1 approx.) abutting the umbilicus, a wide umbilicus, a markedly lobulate periphery and intercameral sutural angles relatively narrow (about 120-135°). Banner, Copestake and White (1993) described identical forms as B. laculata and B. praesimilis (respectively refigured in Plate 8.8, Figs 1-3 and Plate 8.9, Figs 1-3). As first revising authors we choose the former as having priority.
