Taxonomy

Citation: Clavihedbergella moremani (Cushman, 1931)
taxonomic rank: Species
Basionym: Hastigerinella moremani

Type images:

Original description: Test somewhat trochoid, but the spire very much depressed so that the chambers are for the most part in a single plane in the adult whorl; chambers in the early portion globular, later becoming more elongate, clavate, and slightly expanded toward the tip, usually finely spinose throughout, slightly more so toward the tip of the elongate chambers; aperture mostly vestral , with a slightly overhanging lip. Diameter 0.18 mm-0.25 mm; thickness 0.05-0.08 mm.
