1927a Cassidulina delicata Cushman : p. 168, pl. 6, fig. 5.

Description. Test small to medium, nearly circular in the side view, lenticular in the edge view, biserial, planispirally enrolled, with about four pairs of chambers in the final whorl, periphery angled. Chambers elongated, somewhat inflated, increasing in size gradually. Sutures clear, depressed. Wall finely perforate, smooth. Aperture a long slit along the base of the last chamber, without a tooth plate.

Remarks. This form may resemble Takayanagia cushmani , but differs in being more inflated and thicker in edge view and in the absence of a tooth plate.
