Areoligera medusettiformis
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Areoligera medusettiformis Wetzel, 1933b, caption to pl.4, fig.19 — p.41 ex Lejeune-Carpentier, 1938a, p.B170. Holotype: Wetzel, 1933b, pl.4, fig.19; Lejeune-Carpentier, 1938a, fig.7. Originally Hystrichosphaera penicillata forma
medusettiformis (name not validly published), subsequently (and now) Areoligera medusettiformis. Taxonomic
senior synonym (at specific rank): Hystrichosphaera penicillata forma coronata (now Areoligera coronata),
according to Morgenroth (1968, p.551) — however, Eaton (1976, p.245) retained Areoligera medusettiformis. The
name Hystrichosphaera penicillata forma medusettiformis was not validly published in Wetzel (1933b), since the
specific combination Hystrichosphaera penicillata was not validly published. Age: Senonian.

Areoligera medusettiformis O. Wetzel, 1933b ex Lejeune-Carpentier, 1938a. According to Lejeune-Carpentier (1938), the process expansions of this species are reduced when compared to A.coronata. The processes tend to be united proximally by a membrane and can be distally united to form arches. The membranous processes can also be perforate distally. Size: from Lejeune-Carpentier, 120 µm overall.
