Subfamily Kathininae Hottinger, 2014 View in CoL
Remarks. —This subfamily has been defined by Hottinger 2014: 17) as: “The folia are small, inclined foreward. Their tips are fused to each other and with the umbilical fill produced by the previous chambers to form a solid mass perforated by numerous parallel funnels. Some species may have a massive central umbo”. Therefore, the ventral structure in most representatives of this subfamily originates from folia vertical development, similar to what is observed in Lockhartiinae (Consorti et al. 2017a, b). Consequently, the subfamily Kathininae is here included in the Family Rotaliidae and considered sister group of the Lockartiinae.
