Wetzeliella (Wetzeliella) samlandica
Wetzeliella (Wetzeliella) samlandica Eisenack, 1954
Holotype: Eisenack, 1954, pl.8, fig.11
Locus typicus: Samland, E Prussia
Stratum typicum: Early Oligocene
Translation Eisenack, 1954: LPP
Original description: Eisenack, 1954, p. 59
Diagnosis: Capsule with firm (dark redbrown) wall, filling the outer shell almost to the rim, so that marginally, between them, there is hardly any space left, often with small bulges (ears) entering the lateral horns. The horns, including the apical, are essentially more sharply set off and, in proportion to the rest of the shell, longer than in W. articulata, and also quite delicate and thin-walled, with narow tips and distally blunt. The bristles are thin, almost hair-like, with distally scarcely indicated furcation and quite numerous. The size is smaller than in W. articulata.
Remark: The pylome is as usually located below the apex on the front sside, it is generally rounded-oval.
Dimensions: holotype: 114:93 Ám, capsule 69:67 Ám; two other specimens of similar dimensions.
