Original description: caractérisée par sa forme trochospiralée mais nettement différente de G. dubia et rattachée à G. portsdownensis par la taille presque uniforme ds loges du dernier tour,

Translated from French: Characterized by its trochospiral form but clearly different from Globigerina dubia Egger. Related to Globigerina portsdownensis Williams and Mitchel because of the almost uniform size of the chambers in the last whorl.

Entries in the Catalog of original descriptions: Globigerina paradubia, Globigerina kelleri
