Boudagher-Fadel et al. (1997): Remarks: In 1966, Moullade described this species from the Hauterivian of La Drôme and Les Basses-Alpes as well as from the Barremian of the Hautes-Alpes and (rarely) in the Lower Aptian. His six accompanying photographs (1966, plate 7, figs 20, 25) varied morphologically and would now be considered to belong to different species. Fortunately, the holotype (1966, plate 7, figs 24-25; refigured on our Plate 7.3, Figs 7, 8) was photographed both ventrally and dorsally and shows the presence of subglobular chambers (h/L = 0.6), separated by deep and narrow peripheral intercameral sutures (approaching 90°), and a very low, slit-like aperture. These characters can be used to recognize this species, sensu stricto; 'topotype' specimens would be no use, because they could belong to any other species which happened to occur in the same stratum at the same locality as the holotype. The specimens figured by Moullade (1966, plate 7, figs 22, 23; Plate 7.4, Figs 3, 4, herein) as paratypes were distinguished by Banner et al. (1993, p. 8) as P. sigali rasilis because this form has depressed chambers in the last whorl, which are about half as high as long, moderately depressed intercameral sutures, which form intercameral angles of about 140° at the periphery of the test, and a moderately lobate test outline (compared to the strongly lobate test of P. sigali ss.). The holotype of P. sigali rasilis was chosen to be the specimen figured by Gorbachik (1986, plate 24, fig. l , 2; reproduced in our Plate 7.4, Figs l , 2) which had been obtained by her from the Late Barremian of the southwest Crimea. However, as we have not been able to obtain more specimens of this form, we have not been able to add further to the original diagnosis (1993) and for the moment consider it a possible synonym of P. sigali. |
