Age: Tertiary

Original description: [He Chengquan, 1984b] (translated from Chinese with Google):
Pseudokomewuia (Condocorpidia) tuberculata (sp. nov.)
(Plate V, Figure 15)
Description: A subcavitary cyst with a nearly rhombic outline and nearly straight sides. It has a rather low apical bulge (approximately 2 microns high and 3 microns wide) and a rounded tail. The equatorial region has one or two roughly transverse folds. The shell wall is thin, about 1 micron thick. The outer surface is sparsely decorated with coarse grains and fine tubercles. The coarse grains are mostly located at the edges of the shell, while the fine tubercles are mostly distributed in the center. The tubercles are nearly round, blocky, or strip-shaped, with irregular size and shape, ranging from 2 to 2.5 microns in diameter. They are quite low and only slightly reflected in the outline. The inner layer forms the endosome, closely adhering to the outer layer, separating from it only below the apical bulge. It has a nucleus. It is of the paleostomatous type, formed by cracks in the apical region.
The holotype specimen is 47.5 microns long and 50 microns wide.
Origin: Shangsi, Guangxi; the second section of the Yongning Group.
