Abstract
This paper describes a new monospecific polycystine radiolarian genus and its single species so far, Pirumosphaera armandae, found in the Southwest Pacific and Indian sectors of the Southern Ocean. The new spumellarian form is rarely found as a complete specimen, as only its first and second shells are commonly found. However, partially complete specimens suggest that the test of this species is made of four shells. The most diagnostic feature of the species is the peculiar shape of the first shell which protrudes through the second shell, a characteristic that does not conform to any other Quaternary spumellarian genus. Based on the distinct and unique relationship between the first and second shells, the species is assigned to the newly established Pirumosphaera genus.
期刊介绍:
La Revue de micropaléontologie publie 4 fois par an des articles de intérêt international, consacrés à tous les aspects de la micropaléontologie. Les textes, en anglais ou en français, sont des articles originaux, des résultats de recherche, des synthèses et mises au point, des comptes rendus de réunions scientifiques et des analyses de ouvrages. La revue se veut résolument ouverte à tous les aspects de la micropaléontologie en accueillant des travaux traitant de la systématique des microfossiles (et de leurs équivalents actuels), des bactéries aux microrestes de vertébrés, et de toutes leurs applications en sciences biologiques et géologiques.
