1994 Siphotextularia foliosa Zheng — Loeblich and Tappan, p. 30, 31, pl. 42, figs. 1—6.

Diagnosis. Small species with inflated form, maximum width at mid-test length, with short protrusion of aperture.

Remarks. All specimens are distorted and do not retain their original morphology, but such plasticity seems to characterize this species.

Occurrence. Sporadic in the Yonahama and Minebari formations.

Figures

FIGURE 7. Family Textulariidae, Pseudogaudryinidae, and Valvulinidae. All scale bars = 0.1mm, unless otherwise indicated. 1, 2. Bigenerina nodosaria d'Orbigny, 1: MPC-26035 from sample 2 (Minebari Formation, PF5); 2: MPC- 26036 from sample 11 (Onogoshi F.,?PF1). Difference of coarseness and test size between specimens of figured 1 and 2 probably reflect eco-phenotypic variation and preservation. 3, 4. Textularia agglutinans d'Orbigny, 3: MPC- 26067, 4: MPC26068, both from sample 18 (Oura F.,?PF1). 5. Textularia cf. candeiana d'Orbigny, MPC-26069, broken specimen from sample 18 (Oura F.,?PF1). 6, 7. Textularia pseudosolita Zheng, 6: MPC-26070 from sample 6 (Yonahama F., PL2); 7: MPC-26071 from sample 6-2 (Yonahama F., PL2). 8, 9.
