2005 Pseudonodosinella elongata Grzybowski ; Kaminski and Gradstein, p. 256, pl. 48, figs. 1- 9.

Material. 153 specimens from 21 samples.

Description. Test free, uniseriate, composed of elongated piriform chambers never found connected in this work. Wall thick, coarsely agglutinated.

Distribution. Geroch and Nowak (1984) restricted the range of P. elongata to the middle-late Eocene of Polish; Kaminski et al. (2006) signaled P. elongata from the Miocene of Greenland Sea.
