Original description: Test large, almost circular in outline, coiled in a relatively high trochospire; dorsal side broadly convex, ventral side flat although the chambers are very slightly inflated; equatorial periphery almost circular, slightly lobate; axial periphery angular, acute, with 2 heavily beaded keels on the early chambers of the last whorl, reduced to a single well-developed, distinctly beaded keel in the last chambers; chambers on the dorsal side arranged in 3 dextrally coiled whorls and slowly and regularly increasing in size; the initial chambers are small, inflated and elongated in the direction of coiling, the last whorl is composed of 6 large, typically crescentic chambers; on the ventral side of the chambers are 6, heavily beaded horseshoe-shaped rims, and increase so slowly in size that they thickened and heavily beaded; umbilicus roughly hexagonal in outline, wide, deep, surrounded by slightly raised, heavily beaded ridges, and covered by interiomarginal, umbilical; tegilla with accessory apertures only poorly preserved; wall calcareous, perforate, except for the imperforate keels.

Globotruncana lakrai has been moved out from under schneegansi and is now considered a junior synonym of Globotruncana orientalis.
