Emended description:
Haynes, 2015, p. 55: Test is moderate in size, ranging from 161 to 300 microns (n = 11) in length with 9 to 14 biserially arranged chambers. Proloculus is moderately sized, averaging 22 microns in diameter among the 10 specimens measured, with subsequent globular to subglobular chambers increasing slowly in size. In side view the test is subtriangular in outline and weakly tapered, and in edge view the test is slightly compressed. Sutures are straight to slightly curved, moderately depressed, and meet the central axis at an oblique angle. Aperture is a medium to low-arched, symmetrical semicircular arch formed at the base of the final chamber, and is commonly bordered by either symmetrical flanges or an apertural lip. Test wall is calcitic, hyaline, and ornamented with costae that are expressed variably in terms of continuity and thickness but are generally fine and continuous (average thickness = 2.6 microns, n = 6). Test wall is microperforate with an average pore diameter of 0.8 microns (n = 1). [copied from Chronos database]

Hello,
Guembelina (Pseudoguembelina) striata anfracta Geodakchan & Aliyulla 1965 = Heterohelix (Pseudoguembelina) striata anfracta (Geodakchan & Aliyulla 1965) in the synonymy should be given as Guembelina (Pseudoguembelina) striata anfracta (Geodakchan & Aliyulla 1965) = Heterohelix (Pseudoguembelina) striata anfracta Geodakchan & Aliyulla 1965. The subspecies was published under Heterohelix (Pseudoguembelina).
Best wishes,
François
