Taxonomy
Blowiella Krechmar and Gorbachik [according to Verga & Premoli Silva 2003]
Original description: Test planispiral, in the early stages similar to Globigerinella, in the adult becoming somewhat loosely coiled, the earlier coils all visible in side view; chambers globular in the earlier stages, in the adult with lateral prolongations reaching to and slightly over the preceding coil; wall calcareous, perforate; aperture at the base of the last-formed chamber in the median line.- Upper Cretaceous.
Entries in the Catalog of original descriptions: Globigerinelloides
Distinguishing features: Test planispirally enrolled, biumbilicate, involute to evolute, lobulate in outline, chambers globular to somewhat elongate in partially evolute species, sutures depressed; wall calcareous, perforate, optically radial; aperture equatorial and interiomarginal, bordered by a narrow imperforate lip, broad and low to moderately arched, the lateral portions remaining open as relict supplementary apertures around the umbilicus when new chambers are added.
