Test large, biconvex, formed by about three whorls; peripheral outline elliptical; lobate; five to six chambers in the last whorl, increasing rapidly in size as added; earlier chambers on spiral side aspherical to petalloid, later becoming subtrapezoidal; subtriangular on umbilical side; spherical to angular in peripheral view; sutures straight, depressed on both spiral and umbilical sides; primary aperture extra-umbilical-spiroumbilical; umbilicus narrow.

Etymology:
This species is named for E. A. Passagno, Jr., in honor of his contributions to the study of Cretaceous Hedbergelloidea.

Remarks. Loeblichella pessagnoi n. sp. differs from other biconvex species of Loeblichella, like L. convexa Longoria, by the distinctive arrangement of its chambers in the last whorl.  

Range. Ticinella primula Zone (lower Albian) to lower part of Thalmanninella ticinensis Zone (upper Albian).
