Remarks. Loeblich and Tappan (1994) identified spherical species of Pullenia quite similar to P.

bulloides as Pullenia bikiniensis McCulloch (1977) .

Pullenia bikiniensis is regarded a junior synonym of Pullenia quinqueloba (Reuss) in the present study. Pullenia bikiniensis of Loeblich and Tappan (1994) resembles P. bulloides in a broadly rounded periphery but is distinguished from the typical form in having four chambers in the ultimate whorl rather than five, and probably constitutes a different species.

Occurrence. Common in the Onogoshi, Yonahama and Minebari formations.
