Original Description

Shape of test very low trochospiral ; equatorial periphery very strongly lobate. Wall calcareous, perforate, surface finely pitted. Chambers: early ones spherical to ovate, the ultimate ones becoming club-shaped; 12-15, arranged in about 2½ whorls; the 4-5 chambers of the last whorl increase rapidly in size. Sutures on spiral side slightly curved to radial, depressed; on umbilical side radial, depressed. Umbilicus fairly wide, shallow. Aperture a low arch or slit; interiomarginal, umbilical-extraumbilical; a faint lip is visible in well preserved specimens. Coiling trends slightly to dextral in specimens counted from the type locality.

Size:
Largest diameter of holotype 0.7 mm.

Etymology:
The species is named for Dr. Pedro J. Bermudez in recognition of his contributions to the micropaleontology of the Caribbean region.

SynonymHastigerinella eocanica Nuttall, Cushman and Stainforth, Cushman Lab. Foram. Res., Spec. Publ. 14, p. 69, pi. 13, figs, lla-b, 1945. Bermudez, Cushman Lab. Foram. Res., Spec. Publ. 25, p. 282, pi. 22, figs. 1-2, 1949.

Remarks
: Hastigerinella bermudezi, new species, differs from H. digitata Rhumbler (=H. rhumbleri Galloway) in its lower trochospiral form and less elongate chambers. The Hastigerinella species of similar aspect described from the Eocene (H. eocena Nuttall, H. colombiana Fetters) are not fully preserved specimens and the position of the aperture of the ultimate chamber is not clearly visible. It appears likely that these Eocene forms belong to Clavigerinella which possesses an interiomarginal, symmetrical aperture. No typical species of it are known from the Cretaceous; those described from the Cretaceous belong largely to Hastigerinoides or Praeglobotruncana (see Bolli, Loeblich, and Tappan, 1957). It seems probable that true Hastigerinella does not appear before the Miocene.

Stratigraphic range (in Cipero formation): Globorotalia fohsi barisanensis zone.
