Diagnosis Vachard et al. (2017): Original description of Angelina preoccupied. “Test free, discoidal and entirely evolute; proloculus followed by enrolled, undivided and planispirally coiled tubular chamber; wall composed of an inner dark, microgranular layer and an outer clear, radially-built hyaline layer; aperture simple, at open end of tube” (Altıner, 1988, p.28).
Emended description. Test small to medium sized, biconcave, bilocular, planispirally coiled, semi-evolute to evolute, slightly oscillating in the final two whorls, umbilically depressed. Proloculus spherical, often relatively large, followed by a second, undivided tubular chamber. The axial section of the undivided tubular second chamber is semicircular or even rectangular in outline in the early whorls, nearly circular in the last whorls. Wall yellowish, pseudofibrous, unilayered. Aperture terminal, simple, at the end of the tubular chamber."
Stratigraphic range and geographic distribution. Middle-Upper Permian, middle Guadalupian–lower Wuchiapingian, of the Peri-Gondwanan border and Cimmmerian Terrane of Neotethys. Altineria seems also to have a high palaeobiogeographic and palaeoecological value, which will be discussed
in a separate paper. [details]
