Lynchnocanella

Protozoa

Taxonomy
Lynchnocanella was named by Clark and Campbell (1942) [Shell broadly conical; apical horn conical, circular in section, probably elongate; cephalis conical with very strongly convex sides, its basal diameter about equal to the altitude, collar distinct, chiefly separated from the thorax by a change in contour rather than by sharp stricture; thorax asymmetrically truncate-conical with strongly convex sides which reach the greatest diameter well below the middle and just above the level of origin of the feet, thence the sides contracting rapidly to the flattened apertural face; feet, three in number, equal, equidistant, with slightly expanded and reticulated bases (the legs all broken in the writers' specimens); wall thick, dense; surface of horn, hyaline; of cephalis, smooth and hyaline without pores; of thorax, with strong subhexagonal, concave areas the angles of which hexagons bear stubby, broad, and blunted sepaloid points so that the surface is rough, a subcircular pore in the center of each of the areas, pores uniform, subregularly in more or less vertical rows; framework rather heavy; aperture small, inconspicuous. Length of shell, 160 μ; of horn, 20 μ (broken); of cephalis, 50 μ; breadth of base of cephalis, 49.6 μ; maximum of thorax, 110 μ; diameter of pores, 8.8 μ.]. It was considered monophyletic by Clark and Campbell (1942).

It was assigned to Radiolaria by Clark and Campbell (1942).
