Taxonomy

Citation: Hedbergella Bronnimann and Brown 1958

Rank: Genus

Type species: Anomalina lorneiana d'Orbigny var. trochoidea Gandolfi, 1942

Synonyms:

Blefuscuiana Banner & Desai 1988 - the type species of Blefuscuiana, is here included in Hedbergella, as H. kuznetsovae, so Blefusciana is a synonym of Hedbergella.
Lilliputianella Banner & Desai 1988 - the type species of Lilliputianella, L. longorii, is here regarded a synonym of Hedbergella bizonae, so Lilliputianella is a synonym of Hedbergella.

Original description: The smooth- to rough-walled, calcareous hyaline test is trochospirally coiled. Its small early chambers are globular, inflated, and globigerine-like. The last few chambers are elongated and extend into a relatively small umbilicus. The aperture is rounded interiomarginal, and opens into the umbilicus. Short apertural flaps extend into the umbilicus but do not form an umbilical cover-plate. Family Globotruncanidae.

Entries in the Catalog of original descriptions: Hedbergella, Blefuscuiana, Lilliputianella

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Hedbergellidae): Test trochospirally coiled, primary aperture interiomarginal, extraumbilical-umbilical, with prominent apertural lip, apertures of earlier chambers remain visible around the umbilical region; no sutural secondary apertures.
This taxon: Test trochospiral, wall finely perforate, outer wall weakly to densely covered with perforation cones or perforation ridges (coalescing perforation cones); umbilical and spiral sutures depressed, radial, straight to slightly curved; aperture an interiomarginal extraumbilical-umbilical arch with a thin imperforate rim, rarely with a narrow bordering lip.

Emended description:

Huber and Leckie, 2011: Test wall finely perforate, outer wall weakly to densely covered with perforation cones or perforation ridges (coalescing perforation cones), never with an imperforate or keeled peripheral margin or with muricae and rarely with small, blunt pustules. Test small to relatively large in size, coiled in a low to moderately high trochospire with a rounded equatorial periphery, umbilicate; chambers globular to ovate, four to nine in the final whorl; umbilical and spiral sutures depressed, radial, straight to slightly curved; aperture an interiomarginal extraumbilical-umbilical arch with a thin imperforate rim or in rare cases a narrow bordering lip.

Hi Brian

Right- I see we have not even got it in the catalog, or the other species described in the same paper. I have a copy though so will put them in asap.
