Hsuum lucidum

Protozoa - Nassellaria - Hsuidae

Discussion

Original description: Test conical, lobate, pointed apically, usually with six to seven post-abdominal chambers. Cephail small, conical, without rudimentary horn. Cephalis and thorax covered with layer of microgranular silica. Abdomen and post-abdominal chambers rapidly increasing in width, gradually increasing in length as added. Post-abdominal chambers with inner layer of massive tetragonal pore frames with small circular pores: outer layer of mesh work with short, moderately massive costae. Costae mostly occurring on joints of chambers.

Original remarks: Hsuum() lucidum n. sp differs from H. parasolensi Pessagno and Whalen by lacking a horn on cephalis, and by having a more conical test with less massive costae.

Etymology: Lucidus-a-um (Latin, adj.) bright.
