Taxonomy

Citation: Planohedbergella aspera (Ehrenberg, 1854)
taxonomic rank: species
Basionym: Phanerostomum asper Ehrenberg, 1854
Synonyms:
Taxonomic discussion: Bronnimann (1952) says this taxon should not be used owing to its confused taxonomy; original illustrations and description of this species are inadequate. But Pessagno (1967) designated a lectotype and Masters (1977) illustrated topotypes. Occasionally biapertural. [copied from Chronos database]

Emended description:

Pessagno, 1967, p. 274-275: "Test small, hispid, planispiral consisting of two whorls ; six chambers in the last whorl. Chambers expanding moderately rapidly in size as added. Aperture interiomarginal, equatorial in position, a highly arched rounded opening bordered by a thick lop. Outer wall radial hyaline perforate; septal wall microgranular hyaline, perforate.
