Description

Neocythere (Physocythere) tenuis Kaye, 1965

Fig. 8 C–D

Neocythere (Physocythere) tenuis Kaye, 1965: 245, figs 6.14–6.17.

Neocythere (Physocythere) tenuis – Neale 1978: 352, fig. 10.10.

Neocythere sp. GA B 21 – Viviers et al. 2000: 427, figs 15.20–15.22.

New material examined

BRAZIL: Estre outcrop, Rosário do Catete Municipality, Sergipe State (samples MP-1423, MP-1426 and MP-1429), approximate coordinates 10°41' S, 37°02' W.

Type locality and stratum

Henfield, Sussex, England; lower Gault Formation, Hoplites dentatus zone, Anahoplites intermedius subzone, middle Albian.

Measurements

Homeotype (CP-707): right valve: length = 0.43 mm, height = 0.25 mm.

Homeotype (CP-708): left valve: length = 0.44 mm, height = 0.24 mm.

Remarks

The specific diagnosis follows Kaye (1965). Neocythere (Physocythere) tenuis Kaye, 1965 is the same species identified by Viviers et al. (2000) as Neocythere sp. GA B 21 from Grosdidier (1979). However, the species in the latter work is, actually, Neocythere? aff. pseudovanveeni (Gründel 1966).

Paleoecology and distribution

Neocythere (Physocythere) tenuis is a marine, shelf species occurring in the following localities and stages: England, middle Albian (Kaye 1965; Neale 1978);Açu Formation, Potiguar Basin, upper Albianlower Cenomanian; Maruim Member (Viviers et al. 2000); and in the present work, Taquari Member, Riachuelo Formation, Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, middle Albian, Aracajuia benderi zone (MSA-0), Praebythoceratina amsittenensis subzone (MSA-0.3), Brazil.
