Genus:
Epistominella
Husezima & Maruhasi 1944
Epistominella
sp. Note: the specimen is very similar to the deep-water species
Epistominella exigua
(
Brady 1884
)
, but the earlier parts of the test comprise more than half of the test diameter on the dorsal side, which otherwise is a character of the shelf-dwelling species
Epistominella vitrea
Parker 1953
. None-the-less, our specimen is missing the inflated chambers, depressed sutures and rounded periphery of the latter species.
