The classification is based upon: F. Cimerman, M.R. Langer, Mediterranean foraminifera, Slovenska akademija znanosti in umetnosti, Ljubljana (1991), Plate 89, Fig 9.
According to Hottinger+Baccaert the whole Elphidium macellum group needs a reinvestigation due to similarities with
E. limbatum (Chapman, 1909)and
E. nigarense Cushman, 1936. (see Hottinger, l., Halicz, E. and Reiss, Z. 1993. Recent Foraminiferida from the Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea. Slovenska Akademija Znanosti in Umenosti (Ljubljana), classis IV, dela vol. 33 Page 149)
