Original Description Shape of test low trochospiral, biconvex, compressed: equatorial periphery nearly circular, slightly lobate; axial periphery acute to subacute. Wall calcareous, perforate, surface smooth. Chambers compressed; 12-16, arranged in 2 1/2-3 whorls, the 5-6 chambers of the last whorl increasing moderately in size. Sutures on spiral side strongly curved, slightly depressed; on umbilical side radial, depressed. Umbilicus narrow, open. Aperture a low arch, with narrow lip; interiomarginal, extraumbilical-umbilical. Coiling random. Size: Largest diameter of holotype 0.24 mm. Extra details from original publication Remarks: Globorotalia pusilla pusilla Bolli, new species, new subspecies, is distinguished from G. capdevilensis Cushman and Bermudez by its closer coiling, stronger curved sutures on the spiral side and slightly less compressed chambers. The new subspecies differs from G.albeari Cushman and Bermudez in having fewer chambers in the last whorl (about 5 instead of 8-10) and in being less trochospiral.
