Nuttallides carinotruempyi Finlay



Hornibrook et al. 1989, Fig. 15.15a-c (Holotype): 0.5 mm
.

Reference: Hornibrook, Brazier & Strong 1989, p.97, Fig. 15:15a-c (Holotype).

Synonymy: 1947, NZ. j. sci. techn. B28(5): 287, pl. 9, fig. 135-142.

(N. cretatruempyi, Finlay, 1947, loc. cit. 287, not figured by him, is treated here as a synonym.).

Description: N. carinotruempyi has more strongly hooked back ventral sutures than typical truempyi and the distinction made between them by Finlay seems to be useful and worth maintaining.

Distribution: Teurian to Heretaungan.

Comment: As with several other Middle Eocene species, Nuttallides truempyi is preceded by a smaller, apparently ancestral form in the lower and middle Dannevirke Series.
