Genus Rossanella View in CoL nov.
Etymology: In honor of Rossana Martini (Department of Earth Sciences, University of Geneva, Switzerland) for her contributions to foraminiferal studies and biostratigraphy.
Type species: Rossanella martinii gen. et sp. nov.; monotypic, see below.
Diagnosis.—Involute Conorboididae with an inner-chamber, scroll-shaped structure fused to the aperture floor and an arch-like, interiomarginal aperture.
Remarks.—Morphologically, Rossanella gen.nov. appearsas an intermediate form between Triassic Praereinholdella and Jurassic–Cretaceous Conorboides . Contrary to Rossanella gen. nov., Praereinholdella does not possess inner-chamber structures whereas Conorboides presents a slightly more complex apertural system (e.g., low interiomarginal slit partially covered by a flap in Conorboides ).
The new genus shows strong morphological similarities with the?calcitic genus Placentulina Kasimova, 1978 , but differs in its less conic shape and arch-like aperture.
Stratigraphic and geographic range.—Uppermost Hettangian–lowermost Sinemurian (Lower Jurassic) of Adnet ( Austria).
