1937 Lenticulina sintikuensis Nakamura , p. 137, pl. 11, fig. 1.

1968 Lenticulina sintikuensis Nakamura — Huang, p. 58, pl. 13, fig. 20.

Diagnosis. Moderate–sized species with thick lenticular shape, up to 10 chambers in final whorl in adult specimens, surface flush, periphery bluntly angular without keel.

Remarks. The present material exhibits less raised sutures and a more rounded periphery than the original figure of the species, but this is interpreted to be within range of variation or to have been caused by abrasion.

Occurrence. Two specimens from a single sample of the Yonahama Formation.
