Braunella brauni

Taxonomy

Original description: Test biserial throughout, chamber proliferation not observed in any of the studied specimens. Chambers are subspherical throughout, those of the earlier part of the test increase rapidly in size. Kummerform lastformed chambers are common. The rate of chamber growth is lower in the adult stage. The two rows of biserially arranged chambers are slightly divergent in some specimens. Sutures are distinct, depressed, and perpendicular to slightly oblique to the growth axis of the test. Periphery is broadly rounded, without any peripheral structures. Main aperture is in the shape of a low to, more rarely, a medium high arch at the base of the last-formed chambers. It is bordered in the central part by an imperforate band and two detached rod-like rims symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the test. The detached rims define additional apertures along the zigzag suture in the portion of the last-formed one to four chambers. Test ornamentation is irregularly reticulate, costate ornamentation being present on the last-formed one to two chambers of some specimens. Test wall is calcareous, hyaline, and finely perforate, pore diameter being in the range of 1.9-2.5 microns.
