Extra details from original publication
Remarks - Pseudogumbelina leroyi probably is a transitional form between Pseudoguembelina excolata (Cushman) and Pseudoguembelina costulata (Cushman 1938). The subtriangular outline and distinctly lobulate periphery, even in the early stage of biseriality, and the less compressed chambers in the adult stage. separate it from Pseudoguembelina excolata. It differs from Pseudoguembelina costulata in having a pair of semi-globular final chambers, in the distinctly depressed sutures, and in the coarser ornamentation. Some variations were noted, such as loose to closely spaced arrangement of chambers, coarse to fine longitudinal costae, and the shape of the last two chambers, that in some specimens become large and broad along the periphery.
