Extra details from original publication
Remarks: Globorotalia pusilla laevigata Bolli, new species, new subspecies, is closely related to G. pusilla pusilla Bolli, new species, new subspecies, from which it develops. The subspecies laevigata is distinguished from the subspecies pusilla by its more circular outline
and acute axial periphery and by its spiral sutures not being depressed.
