Species Blefuscuiana multicamerata Banner & Desai 1988 | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| Diagnosis / Definition: | ||||||
|
Banner & Desai (1988): Test a low trochospire; spiral side flat or slightly concave, of two or three whorls, with about eight chambers in later whorls; chambers initially reniform and slightly depressed, becoming subglobular with growth. Intercameral sutures are subradial and distinctly but not deeply depressed on both the spiral and umbilical sides. The umbilicus has a breadth equal to about 20% of the test diameter; it is open and shallow. The aperture is a very low slit extending from the umbilicus to the periphery of the preceding whorl; it is furnished with a narrow porticus which broadens rapidly into a subtriangular flap at its posterior end. Relict apertures and their portical flaps are visible in the umbilicus for about half of the last whorl; the portical flaps are separate and not fused distally. The surface of the test is smooth, and not muricate; it is uniformly microperforate; the external diameters of the microperforations vary from about 0.8µm on the umbilical side to about lµm on the spiral side. |

| Discussion / Comments: | ||||||
|
Banner & Desai (1988): No other known species of Blefuscuiana has as many chambers per whorl as B. mullicumerata. This, together with its widely open umbilicus, subglobular chambers and lack of a tendency to pseudoplanospirality, distinguishes it from all species described by Longoria (1974) and other authors known to us. Boudagher-Fadel et al. (1997): Remarks: This species has eight subglobular (h/L = 1 approx.) chambers in the last whorl. The umbilicus (u/uh =0.5 approx.) is open and shallow. |
