VERNEUILINULLA Saidova, 1975
Type species: Verneuilinulla tessera Saidova, 1975; OD.
Verneuilinulla Saidova, 1975 (*2695), p. 102. Verneuilinullinulla Saidova, 1981(*2696), p. 24 (err. cit.).
Test elongate, subconical, early stage trochospiral, with four to five chambers per whorl, later reduced to three per whorl; wall coarsely agglutinated, surface roughly finished; aperture an interiomarginal opening against the basal suture, umbilical in position. Holocene; N. Pacific, at 1,669 m.
Remarks: Verneuilinulla was originally placed in the Globotextulariinae, described as like Eggerella but with an interiomarginal aperture. Although the original figures of V tessera are not clear, other species included in the generic diagnosis better indicate its nature.
