Original Description

Shape of test trochospiral; equatorial perihery strongly lobate. Wall calcareous, very finely perforate. Chambers spherical, about 10, arranged in 2 to 2½ whorls; the 4 chambers of the last whorl increase rapidly in size but the final chamber may be reduced.

Size:
Largest diameter of holotype: 0.23 mm.

Extra details from original publication
Remarks: Globigerina tetracamerata is characterized by its small size and the four chambers in the last whorl. The general shape and apertural characteristics may be compared with those of Globigerina foliata Bolli which is, however, much larger.
