Original Description

Test low trochospiral, rather spiroconvex, occasionally biconvex, earlier whorl with high tightly coiled trochospire, umbilical side slightly concave, equatorial periphery lobulated with sub-rhomboidal outline, axial periphery rounded, three to four whorls visibleon spiral side; chambers moderately inflated, longer than broad, elongate tangentially inspiral view, increasing gradually in size as added, five chambers in initial whorl, four or some-times five in final one, up to 17-18; sutures depressed, slightly curved on spiral side, radial to slightly sinuous on umbilical side; wall calcareous, perforate, fairly thick with pittedsurface; aperture very low arch without distinct lip umbilical-extraumbilical, extending from shallow umbilical area to test margin; sometimes developed at base of final chamber around umbilicus, pustules. Coiling of the test nearly random.

Size:
Maximum diameter of holotype 0.54 mm., thickness 0.30 mm. Other specimens range from 0.24 to 0.54 mm. in maximum diameter.

Extra details from original publication
Remarks: This is a species showing rather Globigerina-like inflated chambers. The shape of the chambers change from inflated subglobular to axially somewhat compressed, and in axial profile from narrowly to broadly rounded. In general outline, this species somewhat resembles Globorotalia zealandica Hornibrook, but it differs from the latter in having no vaulted test on umbilical side and very low arched aperture usually with an indistinct lip, and more inflated chambers.

Occurrence and distribution: This species occurs abundantly only at the type locality In association with the typical assemblage of the Globorotalia fohsi fohsi Zone.
