This well-known and probably cosmopolitan species is represented 

 by rare specimens in the present material. 



The umbilicus is more or less open, and the final chamber is more 

 or less ventrally inflated toward its umbilical part so that the apertural 

 face of the final chamber stands up prominently on the ventral side 

 of the test. 



Discussions (Parker, 1958, p. 265, 266) under the several species 

 of Gyroidina that were found in the eastern Mediterranean point out 

 some of the problems connected with naming this species of Gyroidina. 

 The name G. neosoldanii was proposed because it was believed that 

 the Pacific specimens illustrated by Brady (1884, pi. 107, figs. 6, 7) 

 did not belong in d'Orbigny's original Gyroidina soldanii. Parker 

 (1958, p. 265) states, furthermore, that it is likely that Brady's two 

 specimens (Brady, 1884, figs. 6, 7) represent two different species, 

 one having oblique sutures and the other radiating sutures. It seems 

 to me, however, that the angle of sutures is not of specific importance 

 and, moreover, that both of Brady's specimens should be included in 

 d'Orbigny's original species, Gyroidina soldanii; therefore, I am 

 regarding the present specimens as also belonging in G. soldanii.
