Uvigerina

Mamo, Briony L., 2016, Benthic Foraminifera from the Capricorn Group, Great Barrier Reef, Australia, Zootaxa 4215 (1), pp. 1-123 : 79

Uvigerina sp. cf. U. porrecta Brady 1879 ( Fig. 19 :1, 2)

Remarks. The relatively small, irregular test with constrained longitudinal costae and short tubular neck with a rounded aperture ( Fig. 19 :1, 2) suggests an affinity with Uvigerina porrecta Brady 1879 . However, the low abundance and the fragmentary nature of the available material precludes a definitive species assignment.

Distribution within study area. This species was only found at site 51 in One Tree Lagoon 2.
