Taxonomic discussion: Described in detail by Parker (1962), the subsequent application of the species concept has been often hampered by the impression of the obligatory presence of a complex bulla, as seen on the type and two other specimens (plate 10, figs. 26– 28 of Parker, 1962). This character refers to only one type within the species and Parker (1962) explicitly states that the species also contains a type where the bulla is rare, as exemplified by her specimen pictured on plate 20, fig. 29. In our experience, most specimens in the plankton have no terminal bulla but are easily distinguished from the superficially similar G. glutinata by their consistently umbilical–extraumbilical aperture and a distinctly smooth wall texture with few large pustules concentrated in the umbilical region, such as in the specimens figured as T. iota by Brummer (1988a) and Morard et al. (2019b). [Brummer & Kucera 2022]
