Taxonomic remark D'Orbigny (1826) quoted T. laevigata from the Mediterranean sea but in his unpublished drawings he figured a fossil species (Eocene-Paris). T. laevigata when made available by Terquem (1878) was an homonym of T. laevigata Bornemann, 1855. For those reasons Kaasschieter (1961) renamed T. laevigata into T. lecalvezae (dedicated to Yolande Le Calvez explaining the feminin genitive) referring to the Eocene species from Belgium. Yolande Le Calvez (1970) while publishing about the foraminifera from the Paleogene of Paris Basin made it clear that T. lecalvezae should be used for the fossil species d'Orbigny referred to and that T. laevigata should be renamed and restudied what was done by Cimerman and Langer (1991): T. laevigata is now accepted as Pseudotriloculina laevigata but the recent species should be formaly described and probably renamed.
T. laevigata was also chosen as the type species of Pseudotriloculina Cherif, 1970 (see Loeblich and Tappan (1987) for the choice of the lectotype) and further taxonomic explanations. [details]
