Original Description

Shape of test very low trochospiral; equatorial periphery slightly lobate; axial periphery rounded or with a tendency to become subangular. Wall calcareous, perforate, surface finely pitted. Chambers ovate; 18-20, arranged in 2½-3 whorls; the 6-8 chambers of the last whorl increase slowly in size. Sutures on spiral side: curved, depressed; on umbilical side radial, depressed. Umbilicus fairly narrow. Aperture a distinct arch, a lip may be present; interiomarginal, umbilical-extraumbilical. Coiling random.

Size:
Largest diameter of holotype 0.3 mm.

Etymology:
The species is named for Dr. H. G. Kugler in recognition of his contributions to the geology of Trinidad.

Extra details from original publication
Stratigraphic range (in Cipero formation) : Globorotalia kugleri zone.

Remarks: Globorotalia kugleri, new species, is distinguished from G. fohsi barisanensis Le Roy by having more chambers in the last whorl. G. kugleri became extinct shortly after the first occurrence of G. fohsi barisanensis.
