Arkhangelskiella cymbiformis rara Vekshina, 1959 [Length: 6.75µm; width of pelaga: 1.5-2.0µm]
Species of Arkhangelskiella having a central area with one to three perforations in each quadrant. Variants of this species based on overall size and the width of the pelaga may prove to be useful for local correlations. The holotype is 11.5µm with a medium-wide pelaga.
