Taxonomy

Citation: Microhedbergella Huber&Leckie, 2011
taxonomic rank: Genus
Type species: Microhedbergella renilaevis Huber and Leckie, 2011
Taxonomic discussion: Huber and Leckie, 2011: Microhedbergella differs from Hedbergella primarily by its generally smaller size, particularly in the early species, by having a thinner shell wall (~2-3 microns) that is microperforate with a smooth surface, and by always having an apertural lip or flap. Microhedbergella resembles Praehedbergella because of its small test size, relatively thin wall and smooth wall texture, but these genera are considered as distantly related homeomorphic lineages because of the stratigraphic gap that separates species included within each of the genera

 

Original description:

Test wall thin, microperforate, wall pores evenly distributed and variably spaced in adult chambers, surface smooth or with scattered and weakly developed pustules. Test small to moderate in size, coiled in a very low to low trochospire, spiral side evolute, umbilical side mostly involute; chambers globular, never elongated radially, increasing rapidly to moderately in size, with 3–6 in the final whorl; aperture a low interiomarginal, umbilical-extraumbilical arch bordered by a thin lip or flap that may extend partly into umbilical region.

Entries in the Catalog of original descriptions: Microhedbergella

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Hedbergellidae): Test trochospirally coiled, primary aperture interiomarginal, extraumbilical-umbilical, with prominent apertural lip, apertures of earlier chambers remain visible around the umbilical region; no sutural secondary apertures.
This taxon: Test wall thin, microperforate, surface smooth or with scattered and weakly developed pustules. Test low trochopiral, small, chambers globular, increasing rapidly to moderately in size, with 3–6 in the final whorl; aperture a low interiomarginal, umbilical-extraumbilical arch bordered by a thin lip or flap.
