Sutures on spiral side strongly curved, slightly depressed; on umbilical side radial, depressed. Umbilicus narrow, open.

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.
