Genus Novalesia Magniez, 1974

Type-species: Spiroplectamminoides productus Magniez, 1972

Remarks: The genus is defined as follows: ‘Test free, elongate, early stage planispiral, later biserial as in Spiroplectammina , nearly circular in section; wall finely agglutinated, interior of each chamber subdivided by about four thin radial vertical septula projecting in from the outer wall but not quite reaching the median septum separating the two series of chambers, less frequently a supplementary horizontal septulum may be present in later chambers; aperture a low interiomarginal slit. L. Cretaceous (U. Aptian to L. Albian) ( Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, p. 114). Following the generally accepted terminology as provided by Hottinger (2006), radial partitions should be named “beams” and the horizontal septulum as a “rafter”.
