Sister taxa: S. latum, S. subglobigerum, S. inglei, S. macdougallae ⟩⟨ S. cetacense, S. mascarenense, S. pristinum, S. rockallkiddense, S. tasmanense ⟩⟨ S. martini, S. sp.

Taxonomy

Citation: Streptochilus mascarenense Smart and Thomas 2007
taxonomic rank: species
Basionym: Streptochilus mascarenensis
Taxonomic discussion: Streptochilus is a neuter noun (Smart & Thomas 2018, p.501) so the correct form of the species name is mascarenense, although it was given as mascarenensis in the original description.

Catalog entries: Streptochilus mascarenensis

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Streptochilus): Like Chiloguembelina but with an internal plate connecting successive chambers, a prominent extension of an apertural collar, and a smoother surface texture.
This taxon: Like S. cetacensis but more laterally compressed, more lobulate and pores smaller.

NB These concise distinguishing features statements are used in the tables of daughter-taxa to act as quick summaries of the differences between e.g. species of one genus.
They are being edited as the site is developed and comments on them are especially welcome.
