Description Emended description: Archaediscid discoid to globular at the concavus stage, with coiling oscillant, aligned or sigmoidal, with small nodosities in all the coiling and without stellate initial part (see Vachard, 1988).
Occurrence: Top of MFZ11 (latest early Visean)- Serpukhovian; probably cosmopolitan (Hance et al., 2011). In general, the presence of Nodasperodiscus is rarely recorded after the Visean, due to possible confusions with Archaediscus or Neoarchaediscus in the literature (see Pille, 2008); however, we have found a specimen in the Biozone 9 (Akavasian) (Pl. V, fig. 14).

Diagnosis Test discoidal, proloculus followed by enrolled tubular second chamber, whorls aligned, sigmoidal or oscillating in arrangement, similar to Neoarchaediscus but has both chamber nodosities and central stellate region in which the nature of the early spire becomes confused by the occlusion of the chamber lumen; wall with inner dark layer weakly developed to imperceptible in the later whorls and entirely covered by the hyaline radial layer throughout the test. Carboniferous (U. Visean, Namurian and Bashkirian); W. Europe; USSR; Iran; North America. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
