Taxonomy

Citation: Hedbergella similis Longoria 1974

taxonomic rank: Species

Basionym: Hedbergella similis

Synonyms: Lilliputianella similis (Longoria) - Banner et al. 1993

Taxonomic discussion: This species displays a rather wide morphological variability mainly regarding the number of chambers (5 to 6) in the outer whorl and their elongation, especially of the last one. [copied from Chronos database]

paratype: H. similis

Original description: "Medium sized, test as with genus; formed by 2-3 whorls; peripheral margin elongate, strongly lobate; 5-6 chambers in the last whorl, increasing in size as added; chambers ovate to elongate on both spiral and umbilical sides, ovoid in peripheral view; sutures radial, slightly curved, depressed on both umbilical and spiral sides; umbilicus wide, shallow; relict apertures often observed on spiral side."

Entries in the Catalog of original descriptions: Hedbergella similis

Emended description:

Test medium sized, trochospirally coiled; 5 to 6 chambers in the outer whorl, increasing slowly and gradually in size as added; chambers initially globular to subglobular, the last two or, exceptionally, three tending to become slightly radially elongate, the final one may be more elongate in some specimens; chambers round at their end; spiral side low; peripheral outline ovoid, lobate; sutures straight to slightly curved on both spiral and umbilical sides; umbilicus rather wide and shallow; aperture as a low extraumbilical arch reaching the periphery. Wall smooth and finely perforate. [copied from Chronos database]
