Original Description
Description: Test trochoid, dorsal surface evolute, ventrally involute, umbilicus very narrow or closed, oval to circular in outline, equatorial periphery lobate, axial periphery rounded. Profile in edge view ranging from slightly convex dorsally and strongly convex ven- trally, to equally biconvex, to more strongly convex dorsally. Chambers arranged in about 3 whorls, with usually 5 but sometimes 4 chambers in the last whorl increasing slowly in size as added, last chamber offset towards ventral side. Spiral suture and dorsal intercameral sutures narrow, slightly depressed, dorsal sutures curved and strongly reftexed, dorsal chambers narrow, elongate; ventral sutures narrow, depressed, radial, or slightly sinuous between last 2 or 3 chambers. Periphery of early chambers of last whorl with thickened margin of clear shell material, visible only on moistened specimens, no keel developed. Test wall finely perforate, thickened and pustulose on ventral side of early chambers of last whorl and near umbilicus' early chambers on dorsal side obscured by shell material. Aperture interiomarginal, a narrow elongate opening extending from umbilicus to periphery, with narrow heavy, well developed lip.

Extra details from original publication
Dr D. G. Jenkins has compared specimens of G. (T.) wabagensis with G. (G.) miozea miozea Finlay, 1939, and has also kindly forwarded specimens of miozea miozea. G. (T.) wabagensis is more biconvex than miozea miozea, has a distinct apertural lip not normally found in miozea miozea, and also seems to have a thinner test wall.
