Original Description
Extra details from original publication
Examples from Consuelo Quarry, Havana (Palmer Sta. 942) are figured (figs 1-3).
G. cubensis n. sp. is distinguised from G. wilcoxensis C. and P. by the more regular increase in size of the chambers and thr fact that the shell wall, while not smooth and polished, is not papillated, as is that of the latter species. G. cubensis differs from G. goodwini C. and J. in the character of the aperture, which is always a low opening at the base of the final chamber and does not extend into the apertural face of the final chamber as dcscribed in the latter species.
