 probably closely related to the form usually known as "Pulvinulina 

 lateralis (Terquem)" which is often associated with it. 



This species of Fichtel and Moll was taken by Montfort as the 

 type of his genus Eponides as well as much later for Pulvinulina by 

 Parker and Jones. Under these circumstances there can be little 

 question as to the use of Eponides as a genus.
