Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
F. Brotzen 1940shell more or less lenticular, symmetrical, or one or the other side somewhat more strongly curved. Ran always sharpened or winged. Spiral side having several rapidly growing turns. The navel side shows only the last handling; often formed umbilical disc. The mouth consists of an angled hole (os angularis), one leg of which lies along the inner edge of the last chamber. The second runs more or less diagonally across the face of the last chamber. Often both legs are separated so that there are two mouths.
Stands between Eponides and Epistomina.
Often in the Upper Cretaceous and in the older tertiary.
The name Pulvinulinella should only be limited to forms corresponding to the genotype P. subperiviana.

Spiral and umbilical side equally strongly arched. Spiral side with a particularly high centre and flat edge. The umbilical side is poorly structured, with an indistinct umbilical button or only a strongly raised centre. The edge was pulled out, particularly clearly marked from the navel side. Chambers indistinctly limited. Mouth surface steep; Mouth always in two parts. (Translated).
