Extra details from original publication
Remarks: This species differs from Globigerina bulloides d'Orbigny in having an elongate, not subcircular, equatorial profile, and chambers which are normally ovate, appressed and often slightly embracing. The chambers increase more rapidly in size in this species and the coiling is less trochospiral and not so precise as in Globigerina bulloides. This species also differs from Globigerina bulloides in having a comparatively smaller, less strongly arched aperture and the test is consistently smaller in size. Stainforth (1948b, p. 118) noted the same characters as recorded above for forms he referred to as Globigerina aff. bulloides "form A", from the Oligocene of Ecuador; however, Stainforth described two different forms as Globigerina aff. bulloides, and his "form B" (Stainforth, 1948b, p. 121 explanation of plate 25, figs. 16-18) seems referable to the genus Globorotalia.
Globigerina praebulloides is considered as being ancestral to both Globigerina bulloides and Globigerina parabulloides.
Occurrence: Ranges from the Catapsydrax stainforthi Zone to the middle part of the Globorotalia menardii menardii/Globigerina nepenthes Zone, Tocuyo and Pozon formations.
