Florentinia mayi
Florentinia mayii Kirsch, 1991
Holotype: Kirsch, 1991, pl.13, figs.7-8
Paratypes: Kirsch, 1991
Locus typicus: Moos-Graben, Bavaria, Germany
Stratum typicum: Early Maastrichtian
Translation Kirsch, 1991: LPP
Original diagnosis: Kirsch, 1991, p. 87
Two-layered, proximochorate, smooth cyst with sphaeroidal to subsphaeroidal central body and two different process types. Characteristic are (1) bulboide, distally widened processes with tiny spines on the margin and (2) simple, hollow and very thin processes. Combination archaeopyle present.
Original description: Kirsch, 1991, p. 87
Endophragm psilate to weakly granulate, periphragm smooth, weakly perforate and striate especially on the processes. The from the periphragm arising processes are typically bulboide and hollow. These conspicuous, distally ball-like widened, slightly striate processes possess on the closed ends of fine, isolated, irregular annulate, hair-like spines. These processes are restricted to the pre- and postcingular areas. The other processes are thin, hollow and acuminate and evenly pointed. They appear in the cingular and sulcal areas. The pre- and postcingular processes are enlarged and distally bulboide developed. The thinner antapical processes are slightly elongated. Tabulation: ?4"", 6"", 5-6c, 5""", 1"""". The type of the combination archaeopyle is not clearly determinable, but may be type (Aa+P).
Affinities:
Kirsch, 1991, p. 87: Florentinia mayii differs from all other species of Florentinia by the characteristic pre- and postcingular processes. Florentinia ? flosculus possesses of more thin processes and wide, sacciforme processes. On Florentina hypomagna sacciforme, denticular-tubifome processes are restricted to the postcingular area.
