    Citation: 
    Helicosphaera walbersdorfensis Muller, 1974

    Description: Small to medium sized. Flange ends in broad wing. Central-area with two normally oblique pores separated by narrow conjunct bar. N.B. H. walbersdorfensis sensu Varol (1989) = H. stalis of other authors.

    Remarks:

    Range: NN5 to 7.

    Synonym: H. mullerae Varol, 1989 - alternative name for H. walbersdorfensis based on interpretation that the type specimen is atypical.

    Variants: H. californiana Bukry, 1981 - bar absent, cf. Theodoridis (1984) this is usually a result of dissolution. H. minuta Muller, 1981 - without prominent wing, or possibly a senior synonym of H. stalis.
