Original Description

Shape of test very low trochospiral, spiral side almost flat, umbilical side strongly convex; equatorial periphery lobate, chambers give a quadrangular to pentagonal outline; axial periphery rounded to subangular. Wall calcareous,perforate, surface finely spinose. Chambers laterally strongly compressed; 10-12, arranged in 2-2½ whorls, the 4-4½ chambers of the last whorl increasing rapidly in size. Sutures on spiral side curved in early chambers, often straight, oblique between penultimate and ultimate chambers, depressed; on umbilical side radial or slightly curved, depressed. Umbilicus narrow, open. Aperture a high arch; interiomarginal, Largest diameter of holotype 0.24 mm. extraumbilical-umbilical. Coiling 85% dextral

Size:
Largest diameter of holotype 0.33 mm.

Extra details from original publication
Synyonym:
Remarks: White (1928) described an identical form from Mexico under the name Globigerina velascoensis var. compressa. The interiomarginal, extraumbilical-umbilical position of the aperture places it within the genus Globorotalia where it becomes a homonym of G. compressa (Plummer). For this reason the new name G. tortiva is proposed. G. tortiva possibly branched off from Globigerina velascoensis which has less compressed chambers and an umbilical position of the apertures.

Editors' Notes
Since this is a new name the holotype remains that of White 1928.
Loeblich & Tappan (1957) considered the speciemen of White (& thus the holotype of tortiva) to be different to the concept and illustratration of Bolli 1957.
Blow & Banner (1962) described another species G. (Turborotalia) hansbolli based on the species decription given by Bolli for G. tortiva.
