Genus
Dentalina
Risso, 1826
Diagnosis
Elongate, arcuate, uniserial tests; chambers cylindrical to ovate, sutures oblique; wall calcareous, hyaline radial in structure; aperture terminal and radiate. The generic distinction (
Loeblich & Tappan 1986
) between species with a smooth surface of
Laevidentalina
and a costate exterior of
Dentalina
is not used here, following
Hayward
et al.
(2012: 109
, 236).
Dentalina
differs from
Nodosaria
in having more oblique than horizontal sutures, and test shape is more arcuate than straight, and more cylindrical than nodular.
