Species Lilliputianella longorii Banner & Desai 1988


Diagnosis / Definition:
Banner & Desai (1988):
The test is a low trochospire with five to six chambers in the last whorl. The last two or three chambers increase rapidly in height to become l 1/2 to twice as high as broad in umbilical view, and ovoid in form, being bluntly rounded or pointed conical at their distal ends. The greatest breadth of each chamber is at the distal end of each intercameral suture. On the umbilical side, the intercameral sutures are straight but are slightly oblique to the test radius, especially between the earlier chambers. The umbilicus is deep but narrow, in breadth being about 10% to 12% of the maximum test diameter. The umbilical-extraumbilical aperture is a low slit, furnished with a narrow porticus; relict apertures and portici are visible within the umbilicus for the latter half of the final whorl. The surface of the test is smooth except occasionally for irregular, scattered, rounded, blunt pustules around the umbilical margin; the surface is penetrated by scattered perforations of 0.4 to 0.8;u.m (mostly about 0.6µm) diameter, distributed irregularly over the test surface.
Discussion / Comments:
Boudagher-Fadel et al. (1997):
Remarks: This species has five to six chambers in the last whorl; the early periphery is rounded but the last two or three chambers increase rapidly in height to become one and a half to twice as high as long in umbilical view, and ovoid in form, being bluntly rounded or conical at their distal ends. The umbilicus is deep but narrow, in breadth being about 10-12% of the maximum test diameter. The aperture is in an umbilical-extraumbilical slit, furnished with a narrow porticus.
