Saunders' figured hypotypes from the Ortoire River, on the eastern coast of Trinidad, commons in all inshore brackish-water areas of TriTrochamminita salsa (Cushman and Brönnimann, 1948) emend. Saunders, 1957
Description The specific description has been emended to cover the presence of multiple apertures in some individuals. Presumably, this feature was not observed by Cushman and Brönnimann (1948) in their material, but examination of a larger number of specimens from all coasts of Trinidad has shown that the development of more than one aperture in the adult stage of the test is quite common. A number of specimens, when dissected, show multiple apertures in up to four chambers of the last whorl, before which a single areal aperture is seen.
