Lantus

Protozoa - Nassellaria - Eucyrtidiidae

Discussion

Original description: Test multicyrtid, conical, with horn, usually with strictures at joints, final post-abdominal chamber closing, with large subsperical, latticed expansion, Cephalis conical or dome-shaped. Cephalis, thorax and abdomen sparsely perforate, covered by layer of microgranular silica. Post-abdominal chambers consisting of single layer of dense, small, tetragonal, pentagonal, or hexagonal pore frames. Pore frames regular to irregular in shape and size.

Original remarks:Lantus, n. gen., differs form Pseudoristolan. gen., by having a test with well-developed horn, strictures at joints, and smaller, less regular polygonal pore frames.

Etymology: Lantus is a name formed by an arbitrary combination of letters (ICZN, 1985, Appendix D, pt. VI, Recommendation 40, p. 201)

Taxonomy
Lantus was named by Yeh (1987) [Sepkoski's age data: J Plie-u J Toar Sepkoski's reference number: 763].

It was assigned to Nassellaria by Sepkoski (2002); and to Eucyrtidiidae by O'Dogherty and Gawlick (2008).
