Current identification/main database link: Quinqueloculina d'Orbigny, 1826
Original Description
[Google Translated from French]: Robust, agatisthus-quinqueloculiniform test. The chambers with a highly developed floor are arranged in cycles of three in a 'Y' shape. The neckless opening is semicircular, slightly elongated, large, with a 'Y'-shaped tooth. The inner edge of the opening may have, at the basal part, two characteristic folds, more or less developed. Family Quinqueloculinidae.
Extra details from original publication
[Google Translated from French]: Remarks. – The shape of the aperture, the folds at its basal part are characteristics quite typical of this genus which allow its clear individualization in relation to Quinqueloculina redefined by Luczkowska (Quinqueloculina d’Orbigny, emend. Luczkowska, 1972) in the following way: “It is therefore evident that ovate, elongate aperture and a simple tooth as in G. seminulum should be regarded as proper to the genus Quinqueloculina. Consequently, forms with a different morphology of aperture should be recognized as separate taxa, different from the true Quinqueloculina”. To the genus Rumanoloculina belong the species: Q. robusta Neagu, 1968, p. 566, pl. 1, fig. 8-17, pl. 7, fig. 1-3; Q. multicostata Neagu, 1968, pp. 566, 567, pl. 1, fig. 1-7; Q. minima (Tappan) Neagu (1968, Mus. Hist. Nat. “Grigore Antipa,” Trav., vol. 8, pt. 2, p. 566, pl. 1, fig. (?) [figs. 1-7]).
