Original Description

"Form more convex on the dorsal side than Globotruncana contusa subsp. Scutilla Gandolfi, 1955, the convexity being more pronounced in the last stages; last chambers higher, petaloid and often undulated; sutural elevations thinner and frequently split on the dorsal side into the lines of beads. The form is double-keeled, becoming often single-keeled in the more adult stages. The umbilical cavity is large, the umbilical lips are thin and slightly more arched than in Globotruncana contusa scutilla and Globo truncana contusa subsp. Contusa (Cushman)."

Size:
Dimensions of holotype: Width 0.48 x 0.42 mm.; thickness, 0.35 mm.

Extra details from original publication
Remarks. —The form is evidently closely related to Glt. contusa contusa. Glt. contusa was originally described by Cushman as a "variety" of Glt. area from the Papagallos shale, but no figure was given. Later Cushman, 1946 (p. 50, pi. 62, fig. 6), presented a drawing of it, but the form differs from the present one in having a more prominent pyramidal shape.
