kiaeri are more closely related to the great number of North American species of Grewingkia provided with a pronounced cardinal fossula (thoroughly described by Elias in numerous papers, e.g.
A cardinal fossula is lacking, but a narrow pseudofossula may be present.
The genus Grewingkia Dybowski, 1873, on the contrary, mainly includes comparatively large, liberosessile species with strongly dilated septa throughout the early ontogeny, a cardinal fossula often provided with a septofossular stage (= short cardinal septum) in the calice, and a tabularium with several peripheral tabellae.
2H-L and 3), lacking a cardinal fossula or septofossula and only having slightly dilated septa, are here included in Eurogrewingkia.
The cardinal septum seems to be as long as the other major septa, and a cardinal fossula is lacking.
34-47), shows some similarities with Fosselasma unicum Neuman, 1975 but differs considerably in the following aspects: tabulae are usually depressed in the cardinal fossula (which must be interpreted as a fossula sensu stricto) and septa range from nondilated to completely dilated, which is observed in all ontogenetic stages (also confirmed by Elias, pers.
7-10), having a cardinal fossula sensu stricto visible throughout the ontogeny, differs considerably from Fosselasma gen.
As observed from the illustrations in He (1978), all these species are provided with a cardinal fossula sensu stricto and seem to have amplexoid septa.
