Loeblich and Tappan (1987), and several recent authors recognize Blowiella and Globigerinelloides as two distinct genera. Do you have an ultimate reference concerning the synonymy between Blowiella and Globigerinelloides?
I suspect this is still a topic under debate but Moullade et al. 2002 discuss it at some length.
