Species Praehedbergella tatianae Banner & Desai 1988


Diagnosis / Definition:
Banner & Desai (1988):
The test consists of about two whorls of chambers, 4 1/2 chambers in the first whorl and 4 in the final whorl. The spiral side is almost flat: the umbilical side is more convex and has a narrow, deep umbilicus which is in breadth equal to about 1/8 th of the test diameter. The chambers become reniform and depressed with growth, to become about half as high as long when seen on the spiral side. The aperture is a narrow slit, umbilical to extraumbilical, nearly but not quite reaching the periphery of the previous whorl, and is furnished with a porticus which is broadest at its umbilical end. The surface of the test is smooth and nonmuricate: it is uniformly microperforate. the microperforations being about 0.6µm in diameter but often broadened at their outer ends (through test erosion) to about 1.5µm.
Discussion / Comments:
Boudagher-Fadel et al. (1997):
Remarks: This species is characterized by its very depressed chambers (h/L = 0.4 approx.) and very broad peripheral intercameral sutural angles (160° approx.). No specimens with perforation cones are yet known. The umbilicus is small and the slit-like aperture possesses a broad porticus.
