Treatment

Genus: Epistominella Husezima & Maruhasi 1944 View in CoL

Epistominella View in CoL sp. Note: the specimen is very similar to the deep-water species Epistominella exigua ( Brady 1884) View in CoL , but the earlier parts of the test comprise more than half of the test diameter on the dorsal side, which otherwise is a character of the shelf-dwelling species Epistominella vitrea Parker 1953 View in CoL . None-the-less, our specimen is missing the inflated chambers, depressed sutures and rounded periphery of the latter species.
