Three tragments of Internal molds of the<br />

umple 0.256 are referred to thla species.<br />

The section of the whorl has an arched venter<br />

which rounds evenly Into the flattened flank:a,<br />

the latter feebly diverge down to the adumbWcal<br />

third of the flank where they round rather<br />

abruptly Into the abort aubvertlcal umbillcal<br />

wall.<br />

The omament consists of periodic constrictions<br />

that are wide, channel-like, begin tangentlal<br />

to the umbilical rim, and near the boun.<br />

dary between the adventral and middle thirds<br />

of the flank they describe an oblique feeble arc<br />

which Is followed on the adventral third by a<br />

shallow adoral concavity that directly cro111ea<br />

the venter. Adorally to the constriction there.la<br />

a rib that becomes very prominent on the venter<br />

but which fades out before reaching the<br />

adunibWcal third of the flank or just extendfJ<br />

Into it.<br />

. Between the two constrictions there are<br />

four visible ribs on venter; they correspond to<br />

the branching of two main ribs, the adapical<br />

one that begins at the umbilical rim, trends<br />

almost radial on the adumbillcal third of the<br />

whorl side, then abruptly bends adapically on<br />

the central third of the flank but on the !ldventral<br />

third it trends radially again; at the "point of<br />

Its first bend a second branch arises and descri­<br />

bes a feebiB concave arc across the flank, and<br />

then across the venter. The second major rib<br />

begins at the same point as the first main fu­<br />

rrow, but it trends obliquely describing a feeble<br />

arc on. the central third of the flank, then It<br />

abruptly forms an adoral concavity and rm ally<br />

it croaaes the venter straight; at the bend, a se­<br />

cond, · alightly flexuous secondary rib branch<br />

. Only<br />

one spectrnen is available. The ada­<br />

plcal portion of the last whorl prese!Ved has<br />

flankS that descend abruptly into the umbilicus<br />

and round progressively towan:ls veneer with<br />

the maximum thlcknesa about the midle of the<br />

flank, . then they converge toward the narrow<br />

venter forming a low ogive . TowiU'd the adapical<br />

en of the last whorl, the section tend3 to round<br />

urufonnly.<br />

On the· venter the teat ha periodically<br />

thickened, rounded and llnguilonn flanges<br />

that extend, progmufvely attenuated, to the·<br />

umbilicus In a falcold manner. The early portion<br />

oi the teat Is covered with tine falcold to biconcave<br />

striae with the external adoral concavity<br />

occupying approximately the central and adventral<br />

thirds oi the flank, and then project onto<br />

the venter; toward . the adapertural thlrd.of the<br />

lut whorl, tine rounded ribs that are slightly<br />

narrower than the Intercostal spaces become<br />

well defined especially on the central and adventral<br />

thirds of the flanks. The specimen Is com- .<br />

pletely septate. ·<br />

NOTE : This species Is characterized by: A) ita<br />

inflated, low ogival whorl section, B)<br />

the tenuous, fine biconcave ribs, and<br />

C) the externally accentuated flanges<br />

which correspond to the adapical ridge<br />

of constrictions on the intemal mold.<br />

COMMENTS. This species resemblesPseudorbulites<br />

convergens (Jacob) (1907, p.29, pl.2,<br />

fig. 26a, b, c) but differs In the position of the<br />

maximum Inbation which is more toward center<br />

of the whorl ln the Colombian species. This species<br />

also shows great resemblance to the inner<br />

whori:J of Corteziceras cortezi n. sp., however<br />

has a relatively more compressed whorl section<br />

and does not show the biconcave growth striae.<br />

Description of holotype. The. conch is in·<br />

volul"e discoidal, with sharp venter; the section<br />

of the ' whorl is lanceolate: the maximum width<br />

is on the flattened peri-umbilical region from<br />

which the flanks slope gently up to the sharp<br />

venter- the umbilical rim is blunt, the umbilical<br />

wall is' almost vertical, it changes its inclination<br />

at depth; when the test is preserved the umbilical<br />

rim appears acute.<br />

On a small piece of test preserved around<br />

the umbilicus occur very rm e growth striae. On<br />

the internal mold are low rounded ribs that begin<br />

faintly near the umbilical m trend<br />

radially on the smooth adumblllcal third or the<br />

flank, make an acute bend on part of the central<br />

third and then describe a wide, cre9Centlc adoral<br />

concavity and project sligtly onto the venter.<br />

From the central bend up to the beginning<br />

of the sharp venter the ribs become broad, low<br />
