Catalog entries: Mutabella;
Type images:Distinguishing features: Like Tenuitella but larger and usually with umbilical tooth plate and/or supplementary apertures
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.Most likely ancestor: Globigerinita - at confidence level 3 (out of 5). Data source: Pearson et al. 2001, p.131.
Geological Range:
