Original Description

Very small species with 3-6 chambers in the last-formed whorl; at the dorsal side all chambers visible; at the ventral side only those of the last-formed coil; chambers globular, with sutures depressed on both sides; umbilical cavity very small; walls thin, consisting of one lamella, with small pustules in between the pores; often the pustules are found in rows, as in Rugoglobigerina. Pores fine, pipelike, at the surface ending in a funnel, as in some species they end in pits of the wall. Aperture an umbilical-extraumbilical, crescentlike opening, with slightly thickened border, or a narrow poreless lip.

The genus is found in a short period just at the end of the uppermost Maastrichtian.

The extraumbilical aperture may be explained as caused by the small umbilical hollow and seems to be due to a slight torsion of the chambers; in initial chambers the apertures are umbilically placed; as a whole the genus is not unlike Hedbergella, though there are some different characteristics. Parvularugoglobigerina seems to be the atavistic end of the Hedbergella-Rugoglobigerina lineage. The structural features of the test walls in these genera are alike: the walls consist of fine radial crystals.
