Description
Summary:Hemiparacytheridea mediopunctata (Coles & Whatley, 1989) Fig. 5 P-R Eucytherura mediopunctata Coles & Whatley, 1989: 92; pI. 3, figs 2 -4. " Tuberculocythere horrida" Ayress, 1988 *: 629; pI. 22, figs 13-15. Remarks. Material illustrated here is from DSDP Site 254 in the eastern Indian Ocean, and represents the only record of this species outside the North Atlantic. The Indian Ocean specimens differ slightly from the Atlantic material in having a more inflated posteroventral tubercle which may be attributable to geographical variation. In several species of Hemiparacytheridea the degree of inflation of the lateral tubercles can be seen to be rather variable and end members with very swollen tubercles have been placed in Tuberculocythere Colalongo & Pasini, 1980. The tubercular inflation is not, therefore, considered to represent a natural generic character, and for this reason Tuberculocythere is not used here. Published as part of Ayress, M.
