NO. 3 GLANDULINE NODOSARIIDAE — LOEBLICH AND TAPPAN 7 



Genus PANDAGLANDULINA Loeblich and Tappan, new genus 



Type species. — Pandaglandulina dinapolii Loeblich and Tappan, 

 new species. 



Derivation. — pandus L. bent, cnr\ qA -{■ glandula L. dim. acorn 

 (shaped). Gender feminine. 



Diagnosis. — Test free, like Rectoglandidina with chambers much 

 overlapping, and all chambers uniserially arranged, but with a slightly- 

 arcuate axis, sutures very slightly radiate in the early portion, later 

 ones horizontal, and may be very slightly depressed ; wall calcareous, 

 hyaline ; aperture terminal, radiate. 



Remarks. — This genus differs from Rectoglandulina Loeblich and 

 Tappan, n. gen., in having a curved axis in the early portion, with the 

 sutures somewhat radial, rather than horizontal and parallel. It dif- 

 fers from Glandidina d'Orbigny in being uniserial throughout, rather 

 than biserial in the early portion, and in lacking an internal tube. It 

 differs from Psendonodosaria Boomgaart in having a curved axis and 

 in having closely appressed chambers throughout, and in lacking the 

 constricted sutures of the later stage of Pseudonodosaria. 



Glandulina laevigata var. dentalinoides Silvestri belongs to this 

 genus and very probably also Glandulina adiinca Costa and Glandidina 

 laevigata var. marginulinoides Fornasini. In the latter two species 

 nothing is known of their interior structures. 



PANDAGLANDULINA DINAPOLII Loeblich and Tappan, new species 

 Plate I, figures 12-16 



Test free, fusiform to elongate ; chambers much embracing, uni- 

 serial but with a slightly curved axis ; sutures straight, very slightly 

 radial in the early portion, later nearly horizontal, flush with the sur- 

 face or very slightly depressed in the later portion of the longer indi- 

 viduals ; wall calcareous, hyaline, surface smooth ; aperture terminal, 

 radiate, slightly produced. 



Length of holotype 0.83 mm., greatest breadth 0.39 mm. Other 

 specimens range from 0.68 to 1.17 mm. in length. 



Types and occurrence. — Holotype (U.S.N.M. P2023) and figured 

 paratypes (U.S.N.M. P2024a-d) and unfigured paratypes (U.S.N.M. 

 P2025) all from the Lower Pliocene blue clays, Ponticello di Savena, 

 on right bank of the stream below the bridge near San Ruffillo, Prov- 

 ince of Bologna, Italy. Collected by H. T. and A. R. Loeblich, Jr., 



1954- 



Remarks. — This species somewhat resembles the figures of Glandu- 

 lina laevigata d'Orbigny var. dentalinoides Silvestri, 1903, from the
