Wetzeliella neocomica forma subovalis
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Wetzeliella neocomica forma subovalis Gocht, 1957
Originally Wetzeliella? neocomica forma subovalis, subsequently Phoberocysta neocomica ssp. subovalis.
Tax. jr. synonym of Phoberocysta (now Muderongia) tabulata Raynaud, 1978, according to Monteil, 1991. Phoberocysta tabulata is the tax. sr. synonym at the species rank.
This forma is validly published since it was not necessary to designate a type at the time of publication.
Holotype: not designated
Lectotype: Gocht, 1957, text-fig.13 (designated by Lentin and Williams, 1989)
Age: Hauterivian
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original description (Gocht, 1957) Not yet translated from German.
Shell is approximately oval in outline, with large and wide, often barely differentiated lobes that can cover a large part of the body. The "side horns" generally only appear as short bulges. Apical horn and antapical horn short, smooth-edged or serrated. Often internal body. Dimensions: length 101 µ, width 87 µ, apical horn 15 µ, antapical horn 23 µ, side horns 17 and 15 µ. Capsule 63:55 µ. Other specimens: 92 to 109 µ long, 77 to 89 µ wide. Occurrence: 6 whole and 3 halved pieces in sample 9. 4 other finds from the same sample come somewhat closer to our shape.
