Description

Test shape elongate, cylindrical, nearly straight to slightly curved, slightly nodular; barely tapering in megalospheres and initial end rounded; microspheres distinctly curved, sometimes moderately nodular, and tapering to a pointed end. Length of test 2–3 mm, the largest is 4.2 mm; test width 0.4– 0.6 mm. Chambers subglobular, rectilinearly arranged, moderately embracing. Number of chambers 5–8 in megalospheres; up to 17 in microspheres. Sutures horizontal. Aperture radial, central; up to 11 radial tines, symmetrically arranged, fused in center. Initial chamber with a basal knob or short spine. Secondary surface laminations limited to the upper half of preceding chamber. Wall finely perforated and thick.

Remarks

Resembles N.subsoluta but differs in being less nodular and in having short secondary surface laminations that cover only the upper most parts of preceding chambers. The edges of the laminations are clearly visible in stereo microscope as faint irregular lines. Available material comprised 923 specimens, of which 21 were microspheres. Diameter of proloculus in megalospheres is 0.3–0.6 mm, and <0.02 mm in microspheres.
