Original Description

[Translation from the Russian. - Test strongly compressed along the growth axis. Equatorial outer margin pentagonally scalloped. Axial outer margin broadly rounded. Spiral side weakly convex, umbilical side flat or slightly concave, with a narrow umbilicus. Spire low, consists of two whorls. Initial whorl slightly rises above the later one, which usually consists of 5 chambers. Chambers moderately inflated, placed rather freely, increase in size slowly and uniformly. Sutures deep. Aperture small, semilunate, simple, without a lip, opens into the umbilicus and has a slit-like prolongation along the marginal suture. Wall smooth, moderately perforate. 

Size:
Greatest diameter 0.32, least diameter 0.27, height 0.20 mm.

Extra details from original publication
Variability. - The number of chambers per whorl, which in some specimens goes up to five and a half, is not constant.

Comparison. - From the near species Globigerina (Eoglobigerina) taurica Morozova, 1961, this differs by the less flat test, higher spire, and often by the greater number of chambers in the last whorl, from the very similar species G. (Eoglobigerina) edita Subbotina by the less compact arrangement of the chambers, the lower spire and relatively more flattened test, the small apert ure a nd the narrow umbilicus. From the similar species G. (Eoglobigerina) cretacea d'Orbigny, 1840, which has four to four and a half chambers, more rarely five chambers, in the last whorl, this species differs by its multichambered whorls and more closely arranged chambers.
