Original description:
DIAGNOSIS. A subspecies of P. sigali (Moullade) sensu lato, characterized by chambers which (sometimes excluding the final chamber) become depressed in the last whorl and have heights about half their lengths (when viewed from the spiral side), by relatively shallow intercameral sutures, which form intercameral angles of about 150° at the test periphery, and by a 'compact' test outline.
DESCRIPTION. Test about 0.10-0.15 mm at its maximum diameter, comprising about two whorls, each with 4l!2 cham- bers coiled in a low trochospire. The spiral side is almost flat or slightly convex. The depressions of intercameral sutures at the periphery of the test form angles of about 150° between adjacent chambers. The chambers themselves are symmetri- cal and increase in size gradually with growth and become depressed, being almost half as high as long when viewed on the spiral side (excluding the final chamber); the final cham- ber is only slightly lower than long. The umbilicus measures about 0.02 mm in diameter, and the aperture is a narrow slit with a narrow porticus. Perforation cones are not present.
