Original Description

All chambers visible on the dorsal side, only those of the last whorl visible on the ventral side, reaching almost to the center but leaving a small umbilical cavity free. Chambers fairly inflated toward both sides, increasing slowly in length, with a ratio of 1.1 or 1.2 : 1 between successive chambers. Surface smooth; pore-index 5-1.5, X 500 (an average of five pores per square centimeter, with an average diameter of 1.5 mm, at a magnification of 500X). Aperture a narrow opening at the umbilical cavity. This species somewhat resembles Globigerina triloculinoides Plummer, but differs from topotypes of that species in the total lack of any honeycomb ornamentation.

Size:
Test of medium size, the diameters 0.42 mm. and 0.36 mm., thickness 0.24 mm.
