Species Archaeoglobigerina australis Huber 1990


Diagnosis / Definition:
Huber (1990):
Test biconvex, moderate to high spired, chambers strongly inflated, globular, final whorl chambers on adult specimens four to six,increasing moderately in size, adult apertures umbilical to slightly extraumbilical with a broad flap, surface composed of randomly situated pustules.
Discussion / Comments:
Huber (1990):
Etymology: From australis (latin), referring to the southern latitude region where it is found.
Diagnosis: Test biconvex, moderate to high spired, chambers strongly inflated, globular, final whorl chambers on adult specimens four to six,increasing moderately in size, adult apertures umbilical to slightly extraumbilical with a broad flap, surface composed of randomly situated pustules.
Description: Test coiled in a moderate to high spire, unequally biconvex,spiral side usually more convex than umbilical side, average diameter of adult specimens 280 µm, average breadth 150 µm. Chambers strongly inflated, globular, increasing moderately in size with four to five and one-half in the penultimate whorl, increasing gradually in size with three and three-quarters to five and three-quarters in the ultimate whorl, 12 to 15 comprising the tests of adult specimens, final chambers usually kummerform. Proloculus diameter of adult specimens averaging 16 µm, initial whorl diameter averaging 71 µm, with a mean of 4.4 chambers in the initial whorl. Sutures moderately to strongly depressed,radial and straight on both the spiral and umbilical sides. Apertures of juvenile specimens extra-umbilical in position, having greater width than height, bordered by a narrow, thickened lip. Apertures of adult specimens umbilical to slightly extra-umbilical in position, often bordered by a broad flap that may completely extend across the umbilicus, with relict apertural flaps sometimes coalescing to form a pseudo-tegillum. Umbilicus deep, narrow to broad, comprising an average of 28% of the maximum test diameter. Test surface covered with fine to coarse, randomly situated pustules, surface of final chamber usually with finer pustulose ornament than previous chambers. Outer wall radial hyaline and finely perforate
Van Eijden & Smit (1991):
Remarks. The presence of many forms intermediate with Rugoglobigerina pennyi Brönnimann, 1952a shows the close affinities of Archaeoglobigerina with Rugoglobigerina. We consider it to be the unornamented (high latitude?) equivalent of R. pennyi.
