Eocene_Atlas_pl09-5_fig4-8.jpgCatalog entries: Acarinina punctocarinata,
Type images:
holotype: Acarinina punctocarinata
holotype: Acarinina punctocarinata
paratypes: Acarinina punctocarinataDistinguishing features: Like A. boudreauxi but larger and with distinct punctate pseudocarina formed by peripheral concentration of blunt, thick muricae.
NB These concise distinguishing features statements are used in the tables of daughter-taxa to act as quick summaries of the differences between e.g. species of one genus.
Diagnostic characters: This taxon is distinguished from bullbrooki in the tangential elongation of its chambers (giving the test a semi- rectangular vs. (sub)quadrate shape), development of wedge-shaped chambers on the umbilical side, generally more angulo-conical umbilical profile and distinct punctate pseudocarina formed by peripheral concentration of blunt, thick muricae. [Berggren et al. 2006]
Wall type: Strongly muricate, normal perforate, nonspinose. [Berggren et al. 2006]
Test morphology: Low-trochospiral, 4 inflated, wedge-shaped chambers in last whorl, distinctly longer axially than radially broad; umbilicus open, deep, and generally relatively wide; aperture a low arch bordered by distinct lip extending towards, but not reaching, the peripheral margin; short, blunt muricae concentrated on umbilical shoulders but no circumumbilical muricate rim; sutures radial to slightly curved, distinctly incised; spiral side with radial to slightly curved sutures; distinctly punctate pseudocarina formed by peripheral concentration of muricae; in edge view periphery is subacute with distinctly punctate pseudocarina. [Berggren et al. 2006]
Size: Maximum diameter of holotype 0.33mm, thickness 0.24 mm. [Berggren et al. 2006]

Geographic distribution: Cosmopolitan distribution (from tropical to austral regions). [Berggren et al. 2006]
Aze et al. 2011 summary: Cosmopolitan; based on Berggren et al. (2006b)

Phylogenetic relations: Evolved from A. boudreauxi (see also Blow, 1979, p. 936-937). [Berggren et al. 2006]
Most likely ancestor: Acarinina boudreauxi - at confidence level 4 (out of 5). Data source: Berggren et al. (2006) fig9.2.
