Additional information Loeblich and Tappan (1988) removed Laterostomella from the Buliminidae, where it was originally assigned by de Klasz and Rérat (1962), placed it in the Chiloguembelinidae and designated Streptochilus as its junior synonym. However, in their comparison of these two genera, de Klasz and others (1989) presented evidence that Laterostomella is a benthic taxon and agreed with other authors (e.g., Bronnimann and Resig, 1971; Kennett and Srinivasan, 1983; Resig and Kroopnick, 1983; Poore and Gosnell, 1985) that Streptochilus probably evolved from Chiloguembelina, and should be assigned to the Chiloguembelinidae. Stable isotopic evidence that Streptochilus is a planktonic taxon was presented by Resig and Kroopnick (1983). [Huber et al. 2006] [details]Grammatical gender The name Streptochilus is derived from streptos, Greek for ‘twisted’ and cheilos, Greek for ‘lip’ (Brönnimann and Resig, 1971), with the latter word neuter, thus requiring a neuter specific epithet.
