Species Sphaeroidinellopsis paenedehiscens Blow 1969


Diagnosis / Definition:
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Test large, low trochospiral, early chambers barely visible, ovate to smoothly rounded in equatorial periphery; chambers three in the final whorl, inflated; sutures largely obscured by the secondary test thickening; surface covered by thick, secondary calcareous material (cortex), which restricts the pores and provides a smooth and glossy appearance to the test; aperture an elongate umbilical opening following the line of suture between the last and first chamber of the final whorl, bordered by a crenulated lip, which are extensions of the cortex.
Discussion / Comments:
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Ss. paenedehiscens is distinguished from its ancestor Ss. seminulina seminulina by its more spherical and tightly coiled test and in possessing a longer primary aperture. This species differs from Sphaeroidinella dehiscens by not having supplementary apertures on the spiral side.
Chaisson & Leckie (1993):
Remarks: This species has three chambers in the final whorl, but they are very embracing and completely covered with cortical overgrowth so that the test is oblate. Similar species: Sphaeroidinellopsis seminulina may also have three chambers in the final whorl, but its chambers are less embracing, giving the test a more lobate equatorial outline. S. paenedehiscens evolved into Sphaeroidinella dehiscens by developing a secondary aperture on the spiral side. Early S. dehiscens may have only the smallest crack in the spiral side and must be checked carefully
