  1. Daturella angusta (ref. ID; 3319)
  2. Daturella datura (Brandt) (ref. ID; 3544)

Daturella frigida Hada, 1970 (ref. ID; 3544 original paper)

Descriptions

The hyaline lorica is tubular and is gradually tapering to the curved truncate aboral end from the somewhat flaring oral one. On the roughened surface, irregularly curved longitudinal striae run from the suboral region to the aboral end. (ref. ID; 3544)

Comments

The new form is allied to D. datura (Brandt) and D. striata Kofoid & Campbell in presence of a curved aboral part, but it is distinguishable from them in having a wider aboral opening and longitudinal striae instead of ribbon-like fins. (ref. ID; 3544)

Type locality

This new species was detected in the material taken from Lutzow-Holm Bay on January 17, 1958 (ref. ID; 3544)

Measurements

Length 100; oral diameter 28 um. (ref. ID; 3544)
