Taxonomy:

Citation: Umbilicosphaera henrikseniae (Bown, 2005) Young & Bown 2014
taxonomic rank: Species
Basionym: Calcidiscus? henrikseniae Bown, 2005
Taxonomic discussion: Transferred to Umbilicosphaera by Young & Bown (2014) since it has a wide central area (central area width >25% of distal shield width)

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Umbilicosphaera): Central area open
This taxon: Medium sized (6-7 µm) elliptical placolith with a non-birefringent distal shield and vacant central area approximately the same width as the shields.
