Borsetti (1959) described Catapsydrax venzoi from the same locality and level as gortanii, and we illustrate here new SEMs of the holotype. The specimen has a higher spire than typical Catapsydrax and in our view is synonymous with Subbotina gortanii. [Wade et al. 2018]

Globigerina winkleri Bermúdez is commonly referred to in the literature from the 1960s and 70s. Stainforth (1974) considered this form to be related to Subbotina corpulenta group. Blow (1979) placed the taxon within his new genus Dentoglobigerina and considered it to be a stratigraphically useful form that evolved from D. galavisi. We have obtained new SEM images of the holotype and find this to be a large form, with a wrap-around bulla and we consider this species to be a junior synonym of Subbotina gortanii. See Olsson and others (2006) for a full discussion S. gortanii. [Wade et al. 2018]

Blow (1979) regarded Globigerina gortanii gortanii as the senior synonym of Globigerina turritilina turritilina Blow and Banner, but retained the separation of this form from Globigerina turritilina praeturritilina Blow and Banner. Blow and Banner (1962) separated Globigerina turritilina turritilina from Globigerina turritilina praeturritilina on the basis of slightly less inflated chambers, a broader umbilicus, and a higher aperture in G. turritilina praeturritilina. The holotypes of Blow and Banner’s subspecies are illustrated for the first time in SEM on Plate 6.10, Figs. 9-12 and show little difference between the two morphotypes in these characters. [Olsson et al. 2006]

Khalilov’s Globigerina pseudocorpulenta is a high-spired form that Blow (1979) considered a possible senior synonym of praeturritilina. The holotype was viewed by WAB who was unable to place the specimen unequivocally, hence we hold it in questionable synonymy with gortanii but recommend suppression of the name. [Olsson et al. 2006]
