Extra details from original publication
Remarks : Catapsydrax, new genus, differs from Globigerina d'Orbigny in the presence of the umbilical buUa covering the primary aperture, and in having the accessory infralaminal apertures.

It differs from Globigerinita Bronnimann in having a small umbilical bulla with relatively few infralaminal accessory apertures which are sutural in position. In Globigerinita the bulla spreads along the sutures and the accessory apertures occur all along its margins.

Catapsydrax resembles Globigerinatheka Bronnimann in having the bulla but differs in having a single umbilical one, rather than more than one, situated in sutural positions.

Types and occurrence: In addition to the type species, C. dissimilis, three new Tertiary species of this genus are here described.
Catapsydrax dissimilis was originally described as Globigerina dissimilis Cushman and Bermudez. The holotype (Cushman Coll. 23430) and paratypes (Cushman Coll. 23429) are from the Eocene, 1 kilometer north of Arroyo Arenas, on road to Jaimanitas (water well), Havana Province, Cuba. Collected by P. J. Bermudez.
Figured hypotypes (USNM P4218a, b) are from the Oligocene Cipero formation, Globigerina ciperoensis zone, Cipero Coast section, Trinidad, B. W. I. Collected by H. M. Bolli.
