Original Description
Test thick, higher than wide, consisting of three whorls in a low trochospiral arrangement; chambers inflated, globular, rapidly enlarging, about 14 in number, five in the last whorl, closely app ressed; sutures radial, slightly depressed on the dorsal side, strongly depressed ventrally; wall medium perforate, cancellate, forming irregularly shaped depressions; aperture umbilical-extraumbilical, a large, elongate, semicircular opening bordered by a faint lip.
Size: Height, 0.36 mm.; width , 0.30 mm.; thickness, 0.27 mm.
Extra details from original publication
The amount of variation in this species is slight. The forms range from 0.27 mm.-0.39 mm. in height with from four-five chambers in the outer whorl. In a few specimens the lip becomes more pronounced.
Globigerina hexagona Natland (1938, Bull. Scripps Inst. Oceanography, vol. 4, No. 5, p. 149, pl. 7, f ig. l a-c) differs in the more strongly cancellate test and the low arched aperture.
Editors' Notes
The name is consistently given as macrastoma (not macrostoma), so this clearly was the inntended spelling. [editor's comment - JRY 2018]
