Original Description
Test medium sized, trochoid, low spired; chambers spherical, rapidly increasing in size as added, five in eachwhorl; sutures depressed, radiate; walls with coarse reticulations forming hexagonal pits whichgivethewallsa honeycombed appearance; apertureas lightly arcuate opening between the umbilicus and the periphery at the base of the last chamber.

Size: Length 0.39 mm.; breadth 0.33 mm.; thickness 0.18 mm

Extra details from original publication
This species can be readily distinguished from G. bulloides d'0rbigny and G. quinqueloba Natland by its coarse reticulations. Although the Globigerinidae are known to be pelagic and therefore might be found anywhere on the ocean bottom, this species has been found only in the deeper samples. No reason at present can be given for this limited range."
