1927 Haplophragmoides excavatus ; Cushman and Waters, p. 82, pl. 10, fig. 3a-b.

2005 Haplophragmoides excavatus Cushman and Waters ; Kaminski and Gradstein, p. 360, pl. 82, figs. 1-7.

Material. Four specimens from three samples.

Description. Test free, subcircular in outline, planispirally involute coiled with depressed umbilicus, lobate and carinate periphery. Chambers ( 12–13 in the last whorl) increase very slowly in size. Sutures few incise. Wall finely agglutinated, surface smooth.

Distribution. Late Cretaceous–Oligocene ( Kaminski and Gradstein, 2005).

Remarks. Haplophragmoides excavatus differs from H. carinatus and H. walteri in having a more circular periphery, and a greater number of chambers in the last whorl.
