Synonymy: 1940, Anomalina vitrinoda, Trans. Roy. Soc. N.Z. 69(4): 458, pl. 65, fig. 120-122;
1979, Anomalinoides alazanensis (Nuttall), Hayward & Buzas, Smithsonian contr. paleobiol. 36: 39.
Description: Coarsely perforate, fairly strongly laterally compressed, involute dorsally with an umbonal plug; partially evolute ventrally with distinct apertural plates projecting into a shallow umbilicus filled with clear callus; 13-16 chambers in last whorl.
Distribution: Upper Otaian?, Altonian to Opoitian.
Comment: Finlay's name is retained as this form seems to be connected to the smaller, more inflated A. fasciatus through transitional populations in the Otaian. A. alazanensis was described from the Lower Oligocene of Mexico.
