Original Description

Extra details from original publication
This species differs from G. globulosa in the compressed test, broader chambers, particularly in the last portion, and the some what curved sutures. The microspheric form is much broader than the megalospheric, and occasional specimens of the megalo spheric form are very narrow. A further study of the original figure given by Ehrenberg shows that his form is probably a Bolivina, or at least not a true Guembelina.
G. pseudotessera apparently ranges through most of the Austin chalk and Taylor marl from our records.
