Diagnosis. Small–sized species, with arched shape and flush sutures, smooth appearance.

Remarks. Japanese workers have referred to this species as D. mucronata , probably following the identification in the ‘Challenger Report’ by Brady (1884). Jones (1994) revised this to D. ariena ; we concur. Nomenclature Nodosaria intorta Dervieux was replaced by D. ariena as new name by Patterson and Pettis (1986) due to homonym relationship with Dentalina intorta Terquem ; the homonymy persists, since both should be assigned to the same genus Laevidentalina .

Occurrence. Sporadic in the Onogoshi, Yonahama, and Minebari formations.
