Original Description

Shape of test very low trochospiral ; equatorial periphery strongly lobate; axial periphery rounded. Wall calcareous, perforate, surface finely pitted, in well preserved specimens with fine, short spines. Chambers strongly inflated, spherical; 10-12, arranged in 2-2½ whorls; the 4-4½ chambers of the last whorl increase rapidly in size. Sutures on spiral side radial, strongly depressed; on umbOical side radial, strongly depressed. UmbUicus fairly wide, deep. Aperture a medium to high arch without lip or rim; interiomarginal, umbilical-extraumbilical. Coiling random.

Size:
Largest diameter of holotype 0.5 mm

Extra details from original publication
Stratigraphic range (in Cipero and Lengua formations): Catapsydrax dissimilis zone to Globorotalia menardii zone.

Remarks: Globorotalia obesa, new species, dijffers from G. mayeri Cushman and Ellisor in having fewer and more inflated chambers in the last whorl.
