Material. - 30 specimens (ColI. No. F-203, Sec. No. 412, 428, 429).<br />

Dimensions: L 0.55; B 0.4-0.52; T 0.08-0.12.<br />

Description. - Test broadly oval, very thin and flat, periphery rounded;<br />

chambers of planispiral stage narrow, arcuate, 3-4 on each side of<br />

the sigmoiline stage, which is seen in the central part of the test as small<br />

proturberances; sutures depressed; surface covered with 10-14 regular<br />

transverse bumps on each chamber, making a corrugate pattern on the<br />

periphery; wall smooth, polished; aperture elongate, narrow, slitlike, with<br />

edges inclined to the inside and filled with a long, simple tooth.<br />

Remarks. - Cushman regarded this species as belonging to the genus<br />

Hauerina, as he did Spirosigmoilina crenata (Karrer), despite its sigmoiline<br />

internal structure (Text-fig. 53/4). It differs from S. crenata in the greater<br />

number of bumps on the chambers, more flattened test and rounded, not<br />

truncate periphery.<br />

Distribution. - Poland: Tortonian (Karsy, Korytnica). Czechoslovakia:<br />

Tortonian, 2idlochovice. Romania: Tortonian, Kostej in Banat.<br />
