Cuvillierinella salentina
Description Cuvillierinella salentina from its type locality.1–8:A tests of the “dominant type”(1:holotype). Note the streptospiral juvenile whorls (almost quinqueloculine in 1, 2 and 4), the flexostyle in 3 (although the first whorl is of miliolid type), the few partitions before the last involute whorl, the large endoskeletal mesh in the last whorl of axial sections (5–8) and preseptal pillars in the last chamber of 1. 9–10: Transverse sections of chambers from a cylindrical UUP (Uniserial Unrolled Part); note the preseptal pillars on 9 (see Fig. 3.E). 11–16: A tests of “plain forms”, characterized by their very few partitions; note the flexostyle on 11, 13 and probably 14. 17: An unusual A test with very tight coiling, note the flexostyle associated to a miliolid like first coil. 18–26: “Murciella like forms”. 18–21: A tests almost planispiral with large endoskeletal mesh (flexostyles on 19 and 21); in the last chambers of 20, note the oblique orientation of the primary openings, oblique to the direction of chamberlets. 22–26: A tests planispiral or nearly with early partitions and small endoskeletal mesh. 27–28: Transverse sections of chambers from cylindrical UUP, with small endoskeletal mesh (A or B tests). 29–31: B tests, relatively small, with large endoskeletal mesh, resembling the A tests of the “dominant type”, except their tiny compact milioline nepiont. 32: B test, very large, resembling the B tests of C. aff. pylosensis (Fig. 9.12, 14 and 22). 33–34: Large B tests with small endoskeletal mesh (see more B tests in Fig. 14). Scale bars = 1 mm. 1: Holotype, drawing after the original photograph in Papetti and Tedeschi, 1965. 2–4, 23 and 31: I343 (JJF233). 5–6, 8–22, 24–30 and 32–34: PDC7957, -7960, -7966 and -7874. 7: I336 (JJF229).
