Aprobolocysta eilema
Aprobolocysta eilema, Duxbury, 1977
Originally (and now) Aprobolocysta, subsequently Neerobroomea. Below, 1990, transferred this species to Neerobroomea Wiggins, 1975. Lentin and Williams, 1993, retained this species in Aprobolocysta. N.I.A.
Holotype: Duxbury, 1977, pl.14, fig.4; Pourtoy, 1988, pl.3, fig.1-3,5-6
Locus typicus: Speeton, England
Stratum typicum: Hauterivian
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original description: [Duxbury 1977, p. 53]:
Diagnosis:
An elongate ovoidal proximate cyst. Epitract longer and more tapering than hypotract. Endophragm densely granular. Periphragm relatively delicate, finely perforate, usually extensively folded and enclosing the inner body loosely. The cingulum is reflected in a high undulating periphragm fold. A second high periphragm fold runs from the reflected cingulum to the antapex. No tabulation is apparent except along the margin of the apical archeopyle.
