Wetzeliella neocomica forma convexa
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Wetzeliella neocomica "forma convexa" Gocht, 1957, p.178, pl.20, figs.1–2. Holotype: not designated. Lectotype: Gocht, 1957, pl.20, fig.1, designated by Lentin and Williams (1989, p.293). Originally Wetzeliella? neocomica forma convexa, subsequently Phoberocysta neocomica subsp. convexa. Taxonomic senior synonym (at specific rank): Phoberocysta (as Muderongia) tabulata, according to Monteil (1991b, p.476). Age: Hauterivian.

Original description (Gocht 1957) translation: pkb 2024
This strange type is initially only temporarily housed here, it may even belong to a different genus. The shell does not show any trace of sutures, and the outline (cf. forma pteridia) as well as the partially bifurcated processes or lobes give an approximation to our group, but on the other hand there seem to be connections to forms that have an extremely fine but clear have paneling. They will be described in the next part of the work, where this problem will be taken up again. The shell is somewhat stretched; Apical part bell-shaped to helmet-shaped, pointed, horns large, lobed and bordered almost at right angles, antapical part elongated, missing in one piece. Between the horns on the upper half there are somewhat expanded or bifurcated processes distally, and also to the left and right of the antapical horn, where they are particularly wide and partly split into two long forked branches. Dimensions: length 107 µm, width 82 µm, apical horn about 18 µm, antapical horn 26 µm, side horns 15 µm each. Occurrence: A complete and a halved specimen in sample 4, a somewhat questionable one in sample 9.
