Neogloboquadrina humerosa Like N. acostaensis but 6+ chambers in final whorl, wider umbilicus, and reduced apertural lip. | ||||
Neogloboquadrina acostaensis Like N. continuosa but 5-5½ chambers in final whorl, chambers more inflated, and a wide apertural rim or plate | ||||
Neogloboquadrina atlantica Like N. dutertrei but tighter coiling (& so narrower umbilicus) and granular wall. | ||||

An important part of the evolutionary development of the genus is from N. continuosa to N. acostaensis to N. humerosa to N. dutertrei. This evolution involves a progressive change from interiomarginal-extraumbilical to umbilically restricted aperture, accompanied by the development of umbilical plates and progressive increase in number of chambers in the final whorl. The change of apertural position, observed in the progressive evolution from N. continuosa to N. dutertrei, is also reflected in the ontogenetic development of N. dutertrei, where the aperture shows a gradual change from a globorotaliid condition to globigerine type. As a result, it is one of the most variable of Neogene genera. The evolutionary development of the Neogloboquadrina lineage has been well documented by a number of authors (Parker, 1967; Blow, 1969; Lamb and Beard, 1972; Srinivasan and Kennett, 1976).

Geographic distribution
Phylogenetic relations
The earliest member of Neogloboquadrina is probably N. continuosa, which seems to have developed from "Gr." nana in the Early Miocene. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]
NB It is now conventional to include continuosa in Paragloborotalia, but N. pachyderma and N. acostaensis are inferred to have evolved separately from P. continuosa this makes Neogloboquadrina polyphyletic. [editor's comment - JRY 2021]
Molecular genetic data stongly support separation of N. incompta, N. pachyderma and N. dutertrei but do not provide a clear pattern for their relationships. (e.g Darling et al. 2006, Morard et al. 2015)
Most likely ancestor: Paragloborotalia - at confidence level 3 (out of 5). Data source: the inferred ancestor of oldest species - N. acostaensis and N. pachyderma is P. continuosa.
Likely descendants: Pulleniatina;
