Extra details from original publication
This species seems to be intermediate between the larger species G. micheliniana (d'Orbigny) (4, p. 31, pl. 3, figs. 1-3) which has a relatively higher and straighter sided cone, and an undescribed species in which the cone is lower than G. subconica, with a very sharply keeled periphery. The Ripley for, Gyroidina alabmensis (Sandidge (pp 283-284) differs from our species in being less compressed and in having convex ventral sides viewed from the side. This species has been found only in the basal Niobara where it is relatively common.
