Description

Pachysteles long, joining and dividing in longitudinal section, pachystromes rudimentary to absent, dissepiments common in autotubes between pachysteles. In tangential section, most pachysteles joined in closed network enclosing autotubes. Microstructure finely cellular. [Although the genus Tubuliporellina was attributed by BOGOYAVLENSKAYA and KHROMYKH to Kosareva (1968), a generic diagnosis was not published until that in BogoyavlenSKaya and KhromYKh in 1985, and the proposed type species was only illustrated at that time but not described. The status of the genus is therefore in doubt.]
