Genus Millettiana Banner, Pereira & Desai 1985

Millettiana milletti (Heron-Allen & Earland) = Cymbalopora milletti Heron-Allen & Earland 1915, p. 689 , pl. 51, figs. 32–35 [Plate 4, Figs. 4–6, Plate 6, Figs. 16, 17]. “ Cymbaloporetta milletti ” Rückert-Hilbig (1983) , p. 51, pl. 6, 1–6. Jones (1994), p. 102, pl. 102, fig. 9. Loeblich & Tappan (1994), p. 153, pl. 329, figs. 1–12. Note: only microspheric specimens without a floating chamber were found in the present study. Adult specimens show a beehive-shaped outline in lateral view, and the umbilicus is surrounded by four inflated chambers. The species differs from Cymbaloporetta squammosa d’Orbigny 1839b by the distinct sutures that are hardly visible in the latter, and by the umbilicus, which is not covered by an umbilical disc as in Cymbaloporetta squammosa (e.g., Rückert-Hilbig 1983). Such an umbilical disc has not been seen in our specimens from São Vincente.
