Genus Cribellopsis Arnaud-Vanneau, 1980

Type-species: Orbitolinopsis neoelongata Cherchi & Schroeder, 1978

Remarks: The genus Cribellopsis is characterized by a simple (= without partitions), often bilocular (= protoconch and deuteroconch) embryo located slightly eccentric near the apex or at the beginning of a small spire, a marginal zone subdivided by vertical partitions (beams, Hottinger, 2006), often with several orders, and a rather wide central reticulate zone. Horizontal partitions (rafters) are absent in the species described so far. Foramina show an oblique and vertical arrangement ( Arnaud-Vanneau, 1980; Chiocchini, 1989; Clavel in Granier et al., 2013). Cribellopsis represents a rather simply structured orbitolinid whose species are classically differentiated above all by dimensional and morphological criteria.
