THE TAXONOMY OF THE DESCENDANTS OF THE GENUS JIGULITES ROSOVSKAYA, 1948 (FORAMINIFERA, SCHWAGERINIDA)

Abstract

In addition to the genus Anderssonites Syomina, Solovieva, et Bensh, 1987, the direct descendants of the genus Jigulites Rosovskaya, 1948, include the groups "Pseudofusulina" kossovoii Alexeeva et Polozova and "Pseudofusulina" gregaria (Lee). The morphologies of these schwagerinid groups suggest their generic status. The name Retijigulites gen. nov. is proposed for the "P." kossovoii group. "P." gregaria group is separated into the genus Lapigerella gen. nov. with the type species Lapigerella taberna sp. nov.
