Illustrated material. Juvenile shell, Nº. DGEO-CTG-UFPE-1526. Illustrated material from the Santo Antônio section (0.3 m).
Dimension. Nº. DGEO-CTG-UFPE-1526 (Fig. 5M–N); L= (LV) 0.376 mm, and W= 0.172 mm and Nº. DGEO- CTG-UFPE-1527 (Fig. 5O); L= (RV) 0.424 mm and H= 0.143 mm.
Comparison. Material compared to Alicenulla leguminella (Nº DGEO-CTG-UFPE-1174), described and deposited by Tomé et al. (2014) in the Ivan de Medeiros Tinoco Microfossils Collection of the Paleontology Laboratory of the Federal University of Pernambuco. It was observed that the specimen found in the present study was much smaller, possibly a juvenile form. The ventral covering of the right valve was not observed. Thus, the specimen studied was assigned the confer.
Occurrence and associated fauna. It was recorded in the Santo Antonio section, at the following depths (from base to top): 0.3; 2.1 and 2.25 m. A. cf. leguminella is associated with all species of ostracods, except Dicrorygma (Orthorygma?) dimorpha, Microceratina retangularis sp. nov. and T. cf. quadrinodosum.
Observations. It is worth pointing out the association of this species with the planktonic foraminifera Pseudoguembelitria sp. and Liliputinella? sp., thus suggesting that such forms may occur in typically brackish-marine environments.
Stratigraphic distribution. Brazil, Araripe Basin, Santana Formation, Crato Member, and base of Ipupi Member (Silva 1978b; Silva Telles Jr. & Viana 1990; Colin & Dépêche 1997); interval dated as Aptian (Regali 1990; Coimbra et al. 2002). Potiguar Basin, Alagamar Formation, Aptian (Do Carmo et al. 2013). Cedro Basin, in strata correlated to the Crato Formation, Aptian (Tomé 2007; Tomé & Lima Filho 2010). Jatobá Basin, Serra Negra, in deposits correlated to the Crato Formation, upper Aptian (Tomé et al. 2014). The rocks of the Puberck and Wealden, in England, contain records of this species from the Jurassic to the lower Aptian (Anderson 1985). In this work, Araripe Basin, Romualdo Formation, upper Aptian - lower Albian.
