Taxonomy

Citation: Globigerinoides neoparawoodi Spezzaferri, in Spezzaferri et al. 2018

Rank: species

Synonyms:

Globigerinoides parawoodi Keller 1981 (partim, not holotype):pl. 4, figs. 1-3, 9-11 [lower Miocene Zone N4, DSDP Site 292, northwestern Pacific Ocean].—Spezzaferri, 1994:pl. 13, figs. 6a-c [lower Miocene Subzone M1b, DSDP Hole 516F, South Atlantic Ocean].

Taxonomic discussion:

The holotype of G. parawoodi Keller is here placed in synonymy with G. italicus. However, we consider the paratype of G. parawoodi (USNM 307090) as a distinct species, and is here erected as G. neoparawoodi (Article 23 and 72.6 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature). Chaisson and Leckie (1993) considered forms very similar to G. neoparawoodi, deriving from G. woodi (and named G. parawoodi) as possible ecophenotypes of G. woodi rather than a separate species. However, since these morphologies are clearly distinguished within the variability of the genus at the beginning of its range we retain them as a separate species. [Spezzaferri et al. 2018]

Type images:

holotype: G. neoparawoodi
paratype: G. neoparawoodi

Distinguishing features: Subovate to subtriangular, moderately lobulate, 3½-4 globular chambers in final whorls; umbilicus open & wide; Primary aperture high circular arch. One small supplementary sutural aperture on the spiral side (opposite the primary aperture).

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: Normal perforate, spinose, ruber/sacculifer-type wall.

Morphology: Low to moderately high trochospiral, subovate to subtriangular and moderately lobulate in outline, globular chambers arranged in 3 whorls, increasing slowly in size, 3½-4 in the last whorl, sutures depressed, straight and radial on both sides; umbilicus open, wide, enclosed by surrounding chambers. Primary aperture an umbilical and distinct circular high arch sometimes bordered by a thin rim. One low and small arched supplementary sutural aperture on the spiral side is opposite to the primary aperture. [Spezzaferri et al. 2018]

Size: Maximum length of holotype 0.30 mm, maximum width 0.26 mm. [Spezzaferri et al. 2018]

Biogeography and Palaeobiology

Geographic distribution: Cosmopolitan but more abundant at low latitudes (Keller, 1981; Spezzaferri, 1994). [Spezzaferri et al. 2018]

Isotope paleobiology: No data available. [Spezzaferri et al. 2018]

Phylogenetic relations: Globigerinoides neoparawoodi n. sp. evolved from G. woodi in the upper part of Subzone M1a. [Spezzaferri et al. 2018]

Most likely ancestor: Globoturborotalita woodi - at confidence level 3 (out of 5). Data source: Spezzaferri et al. 2018.
Likely descendants: Globigerinoides italicus; Globigerinoides joli;

Biostratigraphic distribution

Geological Range:
Notes: Globigerinoides neoparawoodi n. sp. ranges from the upper part of Subzone M1a to Zone M6 (Norris, 1998). [Spezzaferri et al. 2018]
Last occurrence (top): within M6 zone (14.24-15.10Ma, top in Langhian stage). Data source: Spezzaferri et al. 2018
First occurrence (base): within M1a subzone (22.44-22.96Ma, base in Aquitanian stage). Data source: Spezzaferri et al. 2018

Plot of occurrence data:

Range-bar - range as quoted above, pink interval top occurs in, green interval base occurs in.
Triangles indicate an event for which a precise placement has been suggested
(NB There is no histogram as there are no occurrence records for the taxon in the Neptune database) Parent: Globigerinoides
