Original description: The small, compressed and planispiral test has a lobate outline. The adult volution is composed of 5, rarely 6, much-compressed, subcarinate chambers. The last whorl is semi-involute, exposing in the shallow umbilici parts of the earlier chambers. The chambers are separated by rather deep and straight sutures. The end chamber is occasionally not larger or even smaller than the penultimate one. The outline of the individual chambers is elongate-ellipsoid in apertural and subcircular in lateral view. Early ontogenetic chambers are rounded peripherally, similar to those of the subspecies Globigerinella messinae subsp. messinae Bronnimann. The large arcuate aperture is situated equatorially at the base of the end chamber and is provided with a delicate, indistinct lip-like projection. The walls appear to be thin and finely perforate. Minute papillae are evenly distributed over the surface. The ornamentation is stronger in the early stage of the last volution."
