Haqius peltatus


Classification: ntax_mesozoic -> Heterococcoliths inc sedis -> placoliths inc sedis -> Haqius -> Haqius peltatus
Sister taxa: H. circumradiatus, H. ellipticus, H. peltatus, H. sp.

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Haqius): Unicyclic, elliptical and circular placolith coccoliths with a narrow or closed central area and a characteristically dark gray (low birefringence) XPL image.
This taxon: Small to medium (3-7 µm) elliptical Haquis species 


Taxonomy:

Citation: Haqius peltatus Bown, 2005
taxonomic rank: Species

Farinacci & Howe catalog pages: H. peltatus *

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Haqius): Unicyclic, elliptical and circular placolith coccoliths with a narrow or closed central area and a characteristically dark gray (low birefringence) XPL image.
This taxon: Small to medium (3-7 µm) elliptical Haquis species 


Morphology:

Small (<6.5 µm), elliptical, unicyclic placoliths with a narrow or closed central area. Under LM XPL the shields appear gray and individual elements are usually visible. Some specimens possess small bar-like structures that cross the narrow central area.

Differentiated from Haqius ellipticus by size and from H. circumradiatus by outline (elliptical).
