Taxonomy
Original description: Test low to medium trochospirai; outline sub-circular, ovate, or quadrate; equatorial periphery strongly lobulate; axial periphery broadly rounded; chambers globose; aperture an interiomarginal, low arch, umbilical to slightly extraumbilical, bordered by a porticus; umbilicus open, small tomoderate in size. Wall hyaline, ornamented with pustules and costellae which are meridionally arranged.
Entries in the Catalog of original descriptions: Costellagerina
Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Hedbergellidae): Test trochospirally coiled, primary aperture interiomarginal, extraumbilical-umbilical, with prominent apertural lip, apertures of earlier chambers remain visible around the umbilical region; no sutural secondary apertures.
This taxon: Test with low to medium trochospiral coil of few, rapidly enlarging, spherical chambers per whorl, sutures radial, depressed, periphery rounded, peripheral margin lobulate; wall calcareous, hyaline, optically radial, finely perforate, surface with meridionally aligned pustules and costellae resulting from fusion of adjacent pustules; aperture a low interiomarginal, umbilical to slightly extraumbilical arch, with a narrow bordering lip.
