Catalog entries: Hastigerinella riedeli
Type images:Distinguishing features: monospecific
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.
Morphology: Test very small, low trochospiral to slightly streptospiral, equatorial periphery distinctly lobulate; axial periphery broadly rounded; chambers subglobular, 5 in the final whorl, increasing slowly in size as added, final chamber slightly bent over the umbilicus; suture distinct, nearly radial, depressed; surface smooth , delicate with very fine, widely spaced perforations and triradial spines , which are concentrated on the distal ends of chambers; aperture interiomarginal, umbilical, rather a low arch, bordered by a narrow but distinct lip. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]
Size: <150µm

In modern oceans a rare, cold water, species [SCOR WG138]
Geographic distribution: Tropical to warm subtropical. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]
Phylogenetic relations: The ancestry of Hs. riedeli is uncertain (Text Fig. 26). The surface ultrastructure suggests that it most closely resembles Hastigerina pelagica. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]
Most likely ancestor: Hastigerina pelagica - at confidence level 1 (out of 5). Data source: Kennett & Srinivasan 1983, fig. 26.
Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): Extant Data source: present in the plankton (SCOR WG138)
First occurrence (base): within N22 zone (0.00-1.93Ma, base in Gelasian stage). Data source: Kennett & Srinivasan 1983 (as Hastigerinopsis reideli)
