Best,
It is a fine technical point, and I don't think it actually matters much. Both combinations Globorotalia capdevilensis and Globorotalia (Globorotalia) capdevilensis are validly available. The authors probably should have used Globorotalia (Globorotalia) capdevilensis but did use Globorotalia capdevilensis - and possibly in 1949 the rules were less clear. I generally try in the catalog to stay as close as possible to what the authors published, so my preference is to record their actual use here.

As with G. albeari it was actually published as G. capdevilensis, although I suspect you are correct that even at the time of publication the technically correct citation would have been G. (G.) capdevilensis
