Current identification:
Type species.- Asymetria asymetrica – new species. Species included. IS or FDS: Asymetria asymetrica – new. Diagnosis. Schackoinid planktic foraminifera with low trochospiral test, last-formed chambers with one distal bulbous projection, and asymmetrically developed ornamentation:smooth on the spiral side and pustulose on the umbilical one. Description. Test is low trochospiral; earlier chambers are globular, then reniform; the last-formed one to three is radially elongate and bears one distal bulbous projection. Sutures are distinct, depressed, and straight to slightly curved on both test sides. Test is convex- concave, slightly asymmetrical in edge view. Aperture is a medium high arch, extraumbilical- peripheral in position and bordered by a wide, tunnel-shaped lip; relict periapertural structures occur in the umbilical region. Chamber surface exhibits asymmetrically developed ornamentation; pustulose ornamentation is developed only on the umbilical side, whereas the spiral side is smooth. Test wall is calcitic, hyaline, simple and perforate; pores are simple, and with circular outline.
