Genus GLOMOMIDIELLA Vachard, Rettori, Angiolini and Checconi, 2008

Type Species. Glomomidiella nestellorum Vachard, Rettori, Angiolini and Checconi, 2008 .

Description. Test ovoid, circular or triangular, bilocular, undivided. The coiling is almost entirely streptospiral, but becomes planispiral and perhaps a little uncoiled at the end of the tube growth. Sutures weakly marked. Tubular chamber initially undivided, but rapidly showing some pseudosepta. Lumina crescentic to semicircular. Wall porcelaneous, often neosparitized. Aperture terminal.

Comparison. Glomomidiella differs from Neodiscopsis Gaillot and Vachard, 2007 by a spherical test, streptospiral coiling and less developed pseudo-septa. Neodiscopsis sensu stricto; i.e., as typified by Hemigordius specialis Lin, Li and Sun, 1990 , is probably a junior synonym of Pseudomidiella Pronina-Nestell in Pronina-Nestell and Nestell, 2001 and/or Baisalina Reitlinger, 1965 . However, Neodiscopsis ambiguus differs from this group and is probably more closely related to Glomomidiella ex gr. infrapermica n. sp.

Occurrence. Artinskian-Changhsinghian, Tethys and Ural Ocean carbonate platforms.
