Remarks The distinctive shape of the new species has no close analogues from southern Africa, but is similar to the following species from elsewhere: K. hiwanneensis Howe & Lea, 1936, from the Oligocene of Louisiana (which is not compressed anteriorly); K. oertlii Dieci & Russo, 1967, from the Miocene of Italy (which does not have a straight DM); and K. vandenboldi Steineck, 1981, from the Miocene of Jamaica (which is a smaller species with a slightly concave VM outline, and a differently shaped anterior vestibule). Krithe spatularis sp. nov. would seem to fit into the 'ecotype' Krithe sp. F of Peypouquet (1979), which he suggested is an indicator of low dissolved O2 in the water column.
