Miocene (Helvetian). Silvestri gave no magnification and no meas- 

 urements of his figures and the comparative size of the two forms is 

 not known. However, the present species has a more produced aper- 

 ture. Glandulina laevigata d'Orbigny var. marginulinoides Fornasini, 

 1901, from the PHocene of Siena is also similar, but has constricted 

 sutures in the later portion, somewhat as in Psendonodosarm. 

 Whether this is a diagnostic character or merely represents an aberrant 

 specimen is not known, but apparently only one specimen was found, 

 which would suggest the latter possibility. Glandulina adiinca Costa 

 differs in being more slender with the early sutures nearly equidistant, 

 and final chamber higher and more tapering. 



This species is named in honor of Dr. Enrico di Napoli Alliata, of 

 Rome, Italy, in recognition of his outstanding work on the Forami- 

 nifera of Italy,
