Cushman (1925, p. 55): "Burseolina calabra Seguenza, Atti R. Accad. Lincei, ser. 3, vol. 6, 1880, p. 138, pl. 13, figs. 7a, b. Types from Reggio, Calabria, Italy. The original figures given by Seguenza does not at all resemble a Cassidulina, Brady had type material sent him for examination, and placed them under Cassidulina although Seguenza places his genus Burseolina between Pullenio. and Nonionina, and his figures certainly resemble these. Brady refers material from the South Pacific to this species of Seguenza, and figures what is certainly a Cassidulina from this region. There are numerous other records based on Brady's figure in the Challen- ger Report, and these are all from the Pacific or Antarctic. It would seem, therefore, that the Pacific species is different from that of Seguenza, and might deserve a new name, which we will propose as Cassidulina pacifica Cushman, new name. (Pl. 9, figs. 14-16.) Brady's Challenger specimen figured, which has a different shape and certainly a very different aperture from that figured and described by Seguenza, may be taken as the type."
