Wetzeliella neocomica forma circulata
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Wetzeliella neocomica "forma circulata" Gocht, 1957, p.178; text-fig.14.
Holotype: Gocht, 1957, text-fig.14.
Originally Wetzeliella? neocomica forma circulata, subsequently Phoberocysta neocomica subsp. circulata.
Taxonomic senior synonym: Wetzeliella? (as Muderongia) neocomica subsp. neocomica (now redundant), by implication in Monteil (1991b, p.477), who listed this taxon as a taxonomic junior synonym of Phoberocysta neocomica.
Age: Hauterivian.

Original description (Gocht, 1957) translation: pkb 2024
Body approximately diamond-shaped, with a closed, almost smooth edge and a somewhat pointed, somewhat broad-based apical and antapical horn. Slight serrations on the edges of the horns are indicated. In the middle there is an equatorial stripe, probably a real transverse furrow, which continues into the side horns, which are rounded notched at the corresponding height. The carapace shows suture-like lines in a seemingly regular arrangement, which I interpret as contraction jumps. Unfortunately, the partial pyrite filling prevents a closer analysis of this phenomenon. Dimensions: length 100 µm, width 75 µm, apical horn 21 µm, antapical horn 24 µm, lateral horns 56 or 55 µm. Occurrence: One specimen in sample 9.
