Original Description

"Large for the genus, 1 1/2 times length of zelandica, but more than twice its full size, stouter and thicker. Final chamber with flattish top instead of tapering to spout aperture, otherwise similar in chamber arrangement, porportions, and sutures. Very finely and densely roughened all over by minute papillae instead of actual fine, sharp spines. Aperture normal, at end of a short thick central tubular neck with distinct rim. Size, 0.45 mm. Broken specimens are easily confused with Guembelina, which has more spherical chambers, deeper sutures, and when unbroken the characteristic quarter-moon-shaped aperture. It is quite probable, however, that Zeauvigerina was derived from Guembelina and was pelagic. In the overlying Waipawan [Paleocene] superficially similar specimens are all true Guembelina, the accompanying Zeauvigerina being the much smaller zelandica and the smooth parri."
