Original Description

Test rotaliform, dorsal side convex, ventral side umbilicate; periphery rounded; chambers subglobular, closely appressed and penultimate chambers sometimes smaller than anatepenultimate; sutures distinct, depressed, slightly curved; wall calcareous, finely perforate; aperture opening into umbilicus, almost invariably obscured by foreign material.

Size:
Greatest diameter, holotype 0.5 mm., paratypes 0.4-0.7 mm.; least diameter, holotype 0.4 mm., paratypes 0.3-0.6 mm.; thickness, holotype 0.25 mm., paratypes 0.2-0.4 mm.

Etymology:
not stated in text but presumably named for G. J. Loetterle

Extra details from original publication
Range.-"Floods" of this species are characteristic of the central part of the Lloydminster shale where the species is associated with a few specimens of Guembelina globulosa (Ehrenberg). it has been encountered in this zone in wells in the Vermillion area, in southern Alberta and in an outcrop at Green Lake 112 NE of Lloydminster.

Comparisons.-This species is similar to G. belli White (1928) in having generally six chambers in the last whorl, and in being, the same size. It differs in having subglobular chambers, a large umbilicus, and the last two chambers smaller than the antepenultimate chamber in many specimens. The young stages of G. loetterli have a number of characters in common with G. cretacea d'Orbigny, from which it may have evolved

alternate spelling loetterlei is often seen
