In the last whorl are five chambers. Outer margin angular, with an indistinct keel of closely arranged small spinules. Sutures deep, on the spiral side oblique, barely noticeably curved, on the umbilical side straight. radial. Umbilicus narrow.

Extra details from original publication
Variability. - This species is quite strongly variable in relation to the compression of the test along the axis of coiling. Lensoid biconvex forms with a blunted outer margin and more strongly flattened forms with a sharp keel are found. Comparison. - From the near species Planorotalites pseudoscitulus (Glaessner) [Globorotalia pseudoscitula, 1937] the species described differs by its higher spire, fewer chambers, sutures on the spiral side not curved, and a less distinctly expressed keel
