Taxonomy

Citation: Streptochilus globigerum (Schwager 1866)
Rank: species
Basionym: Textilaria globigera

Taxonomic discussion: Orthography: Streptochilus is a neuter name so the coreect epithet is globigerum not globigerus - see also the page on S. pristinum. 

Catalog entries: Textilaria globigera

Type images:

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: Rugose test, with globose chambers.

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.

Description


Wall type:

Morphology: Minute biserial test with six to seven pairs of inflated chambers, tending to become globular in the later stages. Wall calcareous, perforate-ornamented with rugae. Aperture a high arch extending from the base of the last chamber onto the apertural face and bordered by a distinct lip. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

Biogeography and Palaeobiology


Geographic distribution: Tropical to warm subtropical. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

Phylogenetic relations:

Distinguished from St. tokelauae, a Pliocene-Quaternary form, by its globose chambers and distinctly rugose test surface. St. tokelauae probably evolved from St. globigerum during the Early Pliocene. St. latum Bronnimann and Resig and St. pristinum Brönnimann and Resig are closely related. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]

Molecular Genotypes recognised (data from PFR2 database, June 2017), one genotype only from 19 sequences. References: Darling et al. 2009; Seears et al. 2012.

Most likely ancestor: Streptochilus latum - at confidence level 2 (out of 5). Data source: Resig 1989, fig. 2.
Likely descendants: Streptochilus globulosum; plot with descendants

Biostratigraphic distribution

Geological Range:
Notes: Kennett & Srinivasan 1983 give a much earlier FAD of N14 for the species, than Resig 1989 (N17B) but they may have used a broader species concept. They also gave a LAD of N19, which is contradicted by plankton records of the species.
Last occurrence (top): Extant Data source: present in the plankton (Darling et al. 2009)
First occurrence (base): within N17b zone (5.72-6.60Ma, base in Messinian stage). Data source: Resig 1989
