Original Description

Shape of test trochospiral; equatorial periphery distinctly lobate; axial periphery rounded. Wall calcareous, perforate, surface finely pitted. Chambers spherical, except the ultimate ones, which are compressed in a lateral oblique manner; 12-15, arranged in about 3 whorls; the 3, in large specimens 4, chambers of the last whorl increase rapidly in size; in large specimens the last chamber may be reduced again in size. Sutures on spiral side radial to oblique, depressed; on umbilical side radial, depressed. Umbilicus small. Primary aperture a distinct, often fairly high arch, interiomarginal, umbilical; one or occasionally two supplementary sutural apertures are visible in the last few chambers.

Size:
Largest diameter of holotype 0.5 mm.

Extra details from original publication
Remarks: Globigerinoides obliqua, new species, is distinguished from the Globigerinoides triloba group by having the ultimate or the last few chambers compressed in a lateral, oblique manner. In Globigerinoides triloba they remain spherical and in the subspecies sacculifera become elongate, sack-like shaped.
Stratigraphic range (in Cipero and Lengua formations) : Globorotalia kugleri zone to Globorotalia menardii zone.

Editors' Notes
The name often appears as Globigerinoides obliquus Bolli 1957 but the correct form is obliqua since the genus is feminine, and Bolli did use this form.
