Cuniculiformis sp. ( Fig. 21J, K )

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — One specimen from sample Mue 22.

REMARKS

This species, of which we have only a fragment, resembles somehow Cuniculiformis aristotelis De Wever, 1982 in having straight, robust apical and ventral corns and a similar outline but differs from it in having wider pores and a completely reduced median bar.
