Original Description Test free, trochospiral, periphery subangular, peripheral outline lobulate, strongly convex on the spiral side where the 2 1/2 whorls may be seen with the early whorls raised distinctly above the level of the 5 to 6 chambers in the final whorl; chambers of greater breadth than height, increasing gradually in size as added; sutures distinct, depressed, sHghtly curved on the spiral side, radial on the umbihcal side; wall calcareous, finely perforate, surface smooth; aperture a low extraumbilical-umbUical arch, with a narrow bordering lip above. Size: Greatest diameter of holotype 0.16 mm. Etymology: The specific name is in honor of Dr. Z. Reiss, micropaleontologist. Geological Survey of Israel. Extra details from original publication Remarks: This species is closest in appearance to G. perclara, new species, but differs in the more elevated spire, and smooth rather than spiaose surface. It differs from G. imitata Subbotina in the more lenticular form, with subglobular periphery, and the more numerous chambers per whorl.
