Description Robust sub-rectangular species of the non-B, dictyon group (WHaTLEY et al. 1984). Anterior margin asymmetrically rounded (L) to evenly rounded (R). Posterior margin truncated in R, asymmetrically rounded in L. Thick marginal rims, anterior of which with short spines, posterior bearing few spines medially. Dorsal margin sinuous due to the pronounced dorsal carina and the hinge ear. Ventral margin straight. Greatest length below mid-height, greatest height at anterior cardinal angle. Well developed reticulum with pronounced muri some of which are suppressed. Asa resuh, many fossae are fused, especially posteriorly. Antero-ventral carina strong or suppressed near the ocular ridge area. Postero-dorsal carina short, extending from the posterior rito till immediately above the MS zone, where it is deflected into the irregular bridge structure. Each solum of the fossae is covered with small circular pits arranged in chains, surface of muri smooth as is the exterior surface above the MS attachment point. Normal pores borh in conjunctive and disjunctive positions. They are sieve-type but the sieve plate is in different positions: closer to the internal surface when they ate intramural, doser to the outer surface when they open on the soluto (Figs. 47J-K). Marginal pore-canals straight, simple, occasionally bifurcate in the ventral area, 21-27 anteriorly, 10- 13 posteriorly. In dorsal view, maximum width in the poster~ ior third at the edge of the ventral carina. Internally: dorsal margin straight, ventral margin slightly concave in the oral region. Inner lamella wide, vestibulum not developed, selvage moderately strong. Hinge holamphidont. R with stepped AT and kidney-shaped PT, median groove smooth with a small, round socket opening behind the AT. L with deep AS and adjacent round tooth, median bar smooth and widening at both ends. PS wide with peculiar oblique incisions inside. Adductor MS consist of a vertical row of four: the upper most oval, the second uppermost dongate and the lower two smaller, elongate and close to each other. Two frontal scars, the lowermost drop-shaped and larger than the round posterior one. In juveniles, the younger the instars the more the secondary reticulation expands on the muri. In many specimens, a horizontal median carina is present, parallel to the other two. The hinge is paramphidont with faintly lobate PT. [details]
Diagnosis Medium-sized Bradleya with thick muri. Fossae fused in the posterior area. Postero-dorsal and anteroventral carinae pronounced. Weak ocular ridge Surface of the fossae covered with a secondary reticulation, formed by small chains of circular pits. [details]
Etymology From the Greek adjective mesembrinos = Southern; referring to the Southern Ocean where this species has been found. [details]
