Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
W. H. Blow 1956Test nearly spherical, with last chamber almost globular, inflated, and embracing the earlier part of the test more than 75 per cent. Dorsal apertures of the penultimate and earlier chambers, and the apertures of the last chamber, are circular or subcircular pore-like openings. Apertures situated in the sutures between the last, penultimate and earlier chamber and not in the area of the last chamber. Sutures less deeply incised than in Globigerinoides glomerosa glomerosa.
