Taxonomy
Original description: The smooth- to rough-walled, calcareous hyaline test is trochospirally coiled. Its small early chambers are globular, inflated, and globigerine-like. The last few chambers are elongated and extend into a relatively small umbilicus. The aperture is rounded interiomarginal, and opens into the umbilicus. Short apertural flaps extend into the umbilicus but do not form an umbilical cover-plate. Family Globotruncanidae.
Entries in the Catalog of original descriptions: Hedbergella, Blefuscuiana, Lilliputianella
Distinguishing features: Test trochospiral, wall finely perforate, outer wall weakly to densely covered with perforation cones or perforation ridges (coalescing perforation cones); umbilical and spiral sutures depressed, radial, straight to slightly curved; aperture an interiomarginal extraumbilical-umbilical arch with a thin imperforate rim, rarely with a narrow bordering lip.
Emended description: Huber and Leckie, 2011: Test wall finely perforate, outer wall weakly to densely covered with perforation cones or perforation ridges (coalescing perforation cones), never with an imperforate or keeled peripheral margin or with muricae and rarely with small, blunt pustules. Test small to relatively large in size, coiled in a low to moderately high trochospire with a rounded equatorial periphery, umbilicate; chambers globular to ovate, four to nine in the final whorl; umbilical and spiral sutures depressed, radial, straight to slightly curved; aperture an interiomarginal extraumbilical-umbilical arch with a thin imperforate rim or in rare cases a narrow bordering lip.
