1946 Dentalina californica Cushman and Gray : p. 66, pl. 12, figs. 3–5.

Remark. It resembles Laevidentalina aphelis Loeblich and Tappan (1986) in possessing a slender and arcuate test, but differs in its more oblique sutures and large proloculus. It differs from Laevidentalina bradyensis ( Dervieux, 1894) by being more slender and possessing a long apertural neck. This form is less robust and much more slen- der than Laevidentalina sp. A .
