Original Description
Description: Test small (0.12-0.20 mm), smooth, 4 to 4¼ chambers in the final whorl, chambers longer tangentially than radially. Dorsal surface, a low convex dome, central details obscured by overgrowth. Intercameral sutures of the final whorl broadly and shallowly depressed, the actual chamber contact well marked; quite markedly recurved distally.
Periphery lobulate; angled but not keeled. Ventral surface also a low dome. Intercameral sutures straight, radial, broadly and shallowly depressed, chamber contact distinct. Surface of first two chambers of final whorl finely pustulose, whether naturally or by overgrowth is not clear. Umbilicus shallow, broadly depressed. Aperture completely extraumbilical, a small, high arch beginning ½ to ⅔ of distance to the periphery and extending to or slightly over the periphery; furnished with a small but obvious apertural flap which is most strongly developed at the midpoint of the aperture.
Wall thin, extremely finely perforate.

This species is accepted under the name Globorotalia galapagosensis Quilty, 1978 (Primary junior homonym of Globorotalia akersi Snyder, 1975), which exists in your catalogue of original descriptions.
homonyms - always pain in the proverbial. I had got this one worked out, but not very clearly signposted, hopefully it is clearer now. My basic format though is to reproduce the type description under the name it was published under, with a separate page for the new name.
