CATALOG OF ORIGINAL DESCRIPTIONS: Trilobigerina Popescu 1987
This page provides data from the catalog of type descriptions. The catalog is sorted alphabetically. Use the current identification link to go back to the main database.
Original Description This genus includes species formerly considered to belong to Globigerinoides, having a surface distinctly cancellate, well-developed, deep, conical pores, which sometimes are hexagonal at the surface of the test, separated by inporulated ridge; the last chamber tends to become higher, subglobular or compressed in the spiral plane (branch irregularis - subsacculifera - sacculifera - fistulosa). Extra details from original publication Remarks. The genus differs from typical Globigerinoides (the branch obliquus - ruber) in its ultrastructure, in rapidly increasing chambers and the tendency of the last chambers to become higher, subglobular or compressed in the spiral plane, and in the shape of the pores Editors' Notes This genus appears to be a senior synonym of Trilobatus - as noted by Paul Pearson in comments on the Trilobatus page an application to ICZN to handle this has been formally submitted (case number 3837), and so the name Trilobatus should be used until this is application has been considered.

This name is spelled incorrectly. It should be Trilobigerina. Perhaps it would be best to delete this page and set up a new one with correct spelling? Also, please note that a case has been submitted to ICZN to partially suppress Trilobigerina for the purpose of priority in favour of Trilobatus. While the case is ongoing Trilobigerina should not be used (see my comment under Trilobatus).

Thanks Paul - I have renamed the page/entry now (accurate typing is not a superpower of mine so to compensate the system is designed to allow painless correction of mistakes). Good to hear the case has been submitted to ICZN to clear this up and I will add a note that effect
