__FORCETOC__
==Definition==
*''according to Hottinger (2006):''
'''PARACHOMATA''' - chomata that supplement the primary pair of ridges in the equatorial zone of the shell laterally polewards; regularly intercalated between supplementary tunnels up to the polar end of the chamber as in ''Pseudodoliolina''. May fuse with the beams of an exoskeleton in order to form complete partitions in the chamber, as in neoschwagerinids.
