Taxonomy

Citation: Ticinella roberti (Gandolfi, 1942)

Rank: Species

Basionym: Anomalina roberti

Taxonomic discussion: This species differs from T. eubejaouaensis in having fewer chambers in the last whorl, a comparatively smaller umbilical cavity and accessory apertures are generally more conspicuous. T. roberti is most probably the ancestor of Biticinella breggiensis through intermediate specimens with relict apertures on the spiral side (Sigal, 1966) and a depressed spiral side and a larger umbilical area (Lipson-Benitah and Almogi-Labin, 2000).

Original description: Conchiglia dal contorno circolare convessa superiormente, un po' concava inferiormente, margine largo arrotondato, spirale trocoide; spira ben distinta, due giri e mezzo di camere, poco crescenti, inizialmente sferiche, in seguito un po' piu alte, separate nettamente l'una dall'altra da suture profonde. Nella parte ombelicale si nota la presenza di un ombelico largo, le camere sono fortemente convesse, suture piu profonde che nella parte superiore, radiali, diritte. Numero delle camere all'ultimo giro 8-9.
