Diagnosis.
Body finely granulated and brownish. Rostrum short. Rostral lamella bilobed and with narrow median interspace between them. Corona as wide as or slightly narrower than cingulum. Sulcus very narrow. Upper lip arched and with triblobed median lobe; median lobe rimmed; much lower than trochal discs. Fine ring between corona and upper lip without disconnection. Spurs conical and with narrow interspace.
Measurements.
Total length in creeping 259 μm. Corona width 25 μm. Cingulum width 24 μm. Cingulum pad width 26 μm. Greatest trunk width in feeding 53 μm. Spur length 6.4 μm.
Remarks.
The most prominent difference between
Otostephanos torquatus amoenus
and
O. t.
torquatus
(Bryce, 1913)
appears in the morphology of the upper lip. The median lobe of the upper lip is simply arched in
O. t.
torquatus
, while it is trilobed in
O. t. amoenus
.
Otostephanos
