ZONATION OF THE CRETACEOUS OF CENTRAL COLOMBIA BY AMMONITES 33<br />

COMMENTS. This species resembles the<br />

inner whoda of Cheloniceraa (E.) debile Casey<br />

(1962, p. 244, pl. 37, r.a, 7, Text· Fig. 85, 86b<br />

and especially ftgums 86a. 86b) but on the<br />

EugUah species the central one of the branching<br />

ribs Is the 1trongest, turthennore It has "groups<br />

of tblee to four intermediary ribs at 20 mm<br />

diameter ,. (Casey, ibid..,p. 244) whereu in the<br />

Colombian species the intermediary ribs ue<br />

almost abeaent.<br />

Them Is also a resemblance between the<br />

Colombian specimen and the lectotype of the<br />

type species of the subgenus (Sinzow, 1906, pl.<br />

2 Figs. lla-c; reproduced in Casey, 1962, p.<br />

2S7, Text-Fig. 82a, b, c); on the Russian fonn<br />

the ventral median sulcus Is deep and the ven·<br />

tra1 tubercles prominent, opposite to the sltua·<br />

tlon the Colombian species.<br />

Paratype. (U.N.C.M.H.N.C.P.Pt.N.18).<br />

The adapical portion of the last preserved<br />

whod on the holotype (VI-10-17) shows strong<br />

<br />

ular ribs which bear a tiny mammtfcnn tu·<br />

bercle at the umbilical margin, a conical tuber·<br />

cle abot the middle of the flank and a promi·<br />

nent triangular transversely elongated :reriven­<br />

. two times on the flanks; in gener 1 the<br />

..&tercostal spaces Qre shallow. The ribs are tnick<br />

an.d rounded.<br />

Between two prominent ribs a nearly<br />

imperceptible Intercalary rib appean, tt Ia<br />

feebly depressed along the ventral median line;<br />

with the tncreuing size the strength of both<br />

ribs and tuberculation rapidly increases, and<br />

approaching the preserved apertural region the<br />

Intercostal spaces are very deep and channel<br />

fonn; at this stage of growth the Intercalary rib<br />

approximates to the periumbUlcal tubercle of<br />

the preceding rib u if arising from t. ·<br />

The periventral tubercles give the impression<br />

of being slightly bent posteriorly. There<br />

are 18 well defined ribs on the last whorl. The<br />

Jatenl tubercles were long and spinose as shown<br />

by depressions on the umbilical wall of the<br />

holotype and the paratype.<br />

DIAGNOSIS. This species is characterized<br />

by: A) the rapid on to genetic strengthening of Ita<br />

ornament contemporaneously with a slow in·<br />

crease of the umbilical diameter, B) ita subrectangular<br />

intercostal whorl section, with greatest<br />

width about the umbilical rim', and C) the regular<br />

occurence of only one intercalary rib appearing<br />

near the umbilical rim .<br />

COMMENTS. This species differs fonn<br />

Cheloniceras stoliczkanum (Gabb )(1869) by not<br />

having the very depre!l&ed whorl section during<br />

ita development and the width-length ratio not<br />

remaining the same throughout as on the bolo·<br />

type of the California species (Acad. Nat. Sci.<br />

Phil., no. 4 786). The ventral nodes on Gabb's<br />

species are broadly rounded, lobe-like, but in<br />

the Colombian species their height is greater<br />

than their width (in correlation with the com·<br />

pression of the section?); the periumbilical tu·<br />

bercles are represented by feeble bullae through<br />

the ontogeny on Gabb's species but they are co<br />

nical and prominent early in the ontogeny of<br />

the Colombian species.<br />
