Original Description

Shape of test low trochospiral, biconvex; equatorial periphery lobate, in small specimens somewhat elongate; axial periphery subacute in immature specimens, rounded in mature specimens. Wall calcareous, perforate, surface very finely cancellate. Chambers subangular to ovate in early stage, later becoming ovate to spherical; about 15-18, arranged in 2-2½ whorls; the 5-7 chambers of the last whorl increase fairly rapidly in size. Sutures on spiral side distinctly curved in early stage, later becoming more radial, depressed; on umbilical side slightly curved in early stage, later becoming radial, depressed. Umbilicus fairly wide, open in immature specimens, in mature specimens partly or completely covered by a bulla-like chamber. Aperture a slit or low arch; interiomarginal, umbilicalextraumbilical in early stage, later becoming umbilical, which in the mature stage becomes covered by a bullalike chamber with one infralaminal aperture. Coiling random.

Size:
Largest diameter of holotype 0.45 mm.

Extra details from original publication
Stratigraphic range (in Cipero and Lengua formations) : Globorotalia fohsi barisanensis zone to Globorotalia menardii zone. Most typical and common in the Lengua formation.


Remarks: Globorotaloides variabilis, new species, is distinguished from G. suteri, new species, by having more compressed early chambers, more curved sutures and a greater number of chambers. It is likely that G. suteri, which is restricted to the lower and middle part of the Cipero formation, is the ancestor of G. variabilis, new species.
