Taxonomy
Original description: Diagnosis.-A high trochospiral species of Praeglobotruncana with slight peripheral pustule lines, distinct lip near umbilicus and 4 smooth-walled chambers in last whorl.
Description.- Test of medium to large size, medium to high trochospiral, equatorial periphery lobulate ; chambers petaloidal in shape on dorsal side, trapezoidal to subglobular, inflated on dorsal side, about 12 in all arranged into 2 to 2.5 whorls, enlarging gradually in size as added, characteristically 4 chambers in final whorl, with a weak peripheral band formed of an aligned concentration of pustules which tends to be shifted toward spiral side ; final chamber shifted toward umbilical direction ; sutures on dorsal side radial and depressed except for that of first chamber in last whorl which occasionally is raised, ventrally radial and depressed; umbilicus shallow, medium to narrow in size, less than 1/4 of maximum diameter of test; primary aperture bordered by a distinct lip that expands markedly near umbilicus, interiomarginal, umbilical- extraumbilical ; wall calcareous, surface smooth, earlier chambers weakly pustulated
