Taxonomic remark Extant biserial species previously assigned to this genus [Streptochilus] are identical with Bolivina variabilis (Williamson, 1858) based on molecular genetic evidence (Darling et al., 2009; Kucera et al., 2017) and must be classified as Bolivina. The identity of other Cenozoic biserial foraminifera in the plankton cannot be constrained by genetic data and if these are considered to belong to a distinct lineage, they may remain to be assigned to Streptochilus.
