Original Description
Shape of test very low trochospiral; equatorial periphery distinctly lobate, axial periphery rounded. Wall calcareous, perforate, surface smooth or very finely pitted. Chambers spherical; about 12, arranged in about 2½ whorls; the 4-5 chambers of the last whorl increase moderately to fairly rapidly in size.

Extra details from original publication
Remarks: Globigerina ciperoensis angustiumbilicata, new subspecies, is distinguished from G. ciperoensis ciperoensis by having a small umbilicus. The aperture, which is umbilical in position, may in some specimens show a tendency towards an umbilical—extraumbilical position.
Stratigraphic range (in Cipero formation): Globigerina ampliapertura zone to Catapsydrax dissimilis zone.
