Genus Spinicingula Kozlova and Vishnevskaya nov.

Type species: Spinicingula certina Kozlova and Vishnevskaya sp. nov.; see below.

Etymology: From Latin spina, thorn, prickle, needle and cingula, belt or girdle; test with thorns and belts (by analogy with Parvicingula ).

Diagnosis.—The main shell construction is very similar to the one in Parvicingula Pessagno, 1977 , but differs in having outer spines. Spines 2, L’ and D’ form massive longitudinal ridges or wings in the upper part of the shell; spine V’ is short pyramid shaped or cone−shaped thorn, spines 2, 1’, when present, similar.

Remarks.—From other parvicingulids, the new genus differs by having a system of outer spines.

Geographic and stratigraphic range.— Middle –Late Volgian, Boreal realm; Timan−Pechora Basin, Russia.
