Benthic Foraminifera from the Capricorn Group, Great Barrier Reef, Australia Author Mamo, Briony L. text Zootaxa 2016 4215 1 1 123 journal article 37169 10.11646/zootaxa.4215.1.1 0087fa4c-a4f0-45d9-a2de-d433d7885753 1175-5326 272923 B91D1782-C11A-4CDC-96B6-76104FEE51BD Textularia sp 1. ( Fig. 5 :7, 8) Remarks. This taxon was referred to Textularia due to its free agglutinated biserial test with well-sorted mediumsized grains, depressed sutures and slightly inflated chambers with rounded but slightly squared-off chambers. The chambers of this species deeply interlock, giving them a stacked appearance ( Fig. 5 :7). The aperture is a subcircular hole located at the base of the final chamber but sits off axis due to the chamber covering the inner-most half of the chamber preceding it ( Fig. 5 :8). These features closely resemble those tests assigned by Parker (2009: fig. 53) to Textularia kerimbaensis Said 1949 from Ningaloo Reef except that the aperture is not off axis and consists of a small slit as opposed to a sub-circular hole. Capricorn Group specimens also possess taller chambers. Distribution within study area. Textularia sp. 1 was only collected from site 3 along Heron Transect 2. It is as abundant as T . candeiana and is less common than T . agglutinans , T . lateralis and Textularia jparkeri n. sp.
