Original Description

Translation from the Russian. - Test subquadrate, formed in a high spiral, consisting of two to two and a half whorls. Each whorl consists of four inflated, slowly enlarging chambers. Spiral side conical, umbilical side concave in the center. Umbilicus narrow. Sutures deep. Aperture umbilical with a slit-shaped prolongation along the marginal suture. Wall smooth, finely perforate. Surface lustrous.

Size:
Greatest diameter 0.32, least diameter 0.26, height 0.24 mm.

Extra details from original publication
Variability. - Variable features are the height of the spire and the number of chambers per whorl. In the populations four-chambered forms predominate, in which the height of the test is almost equal to its diameter, but less high specimens are also encountered. The number of chambers varies from four to four and a half.
Comparison. - The given species in relative height of the test and number of chambers in the whorls occupies an intermediate position between Globigerina (Eoglobigerina) trifolia Morozova and G. (Eoglobigerina) pentagona Morozova, with both of which it is connected by intermediate forms. The basic distinguishing feature of the described species is its four-chambered whorls and the relatively high spire, the height of which is only a bit less than the diameter. From G. (Eoglobigerina) quadrata White it differs by the conical spiral side and evolute whorls.
