''Remarks:'' Carpenter et all., (1862), Brady (1884) and in particular Davies (1932) in his basic monograph on ''Rotalia trochidiformis'' used the term astral lobe to designate what is currently called a folium. In spite of their similar ventral-adumbilical position astral lobes must be distinguished from [[stellar chamberlets]] (as in Amphisteginidae) that are separated from their corresponding main chamber by a complete wall. However, functional similarities may not be excluded.
