Taxonomic discussion: The gross morphology of Chiloguembelina morsei is very similar to that of Chiloguembelina midwayensis. Loeblich and Tappan (1957a) suggested that C. morsei can be distinguished from C. midwayensis sensu stricto by the former's narrower test, more globular chambers, and more deeply constricted sutures. The two taxa are most readily distinguished by the narrowness of their tests; the chambers of C. morsei expand less rapidly in breadth than those of C. midwayensis. Consequently, the periphery of the former defines a more acute angle (~50°) than that of the latter (~60°). Forms intermediate between C. morsei and C. midwayensis have been illustrated as C. midwayensis by D'Hondt (1991:173, pl. 2: figs. 13, 15). [Olsson et al. 1999]

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Chiloguembelina): Test subtriangular in outline, biserial throughout or rarely with multiserial final chambers; aperture a simple arched opening at base of the final chamber, with a narrow rim on one margin and a broad collar or flange directed toward one of the flat sides of the test, lacking an infolded margin or internal plate. Rarely with multiple apertures.
This taxon: The test biserial throughout. Sutures are distinct and depressed, initially sub-horizontal, oblique between later chambers. Successive chambers overlap, particularly in late ontogeny. Initial chambers sub-spherical, later chambers broader Wall surface with numerous small pustules, especially on early chambers. Aperture with a single distinct lateral flange.

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.
