Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
F. Roegl 1994Large, low trochospiral test, with 5 inflated chambers in the final whorl; 14 globular chambers in 2- whorls, gradually increasing in size, last chamber smaller then the penultimate one; penultimate whorl with 4 chambers; chambers loosely coiled, periphery lobate; sutures radial, deeply incised. Umbilicus very large, open, quadrangular elongated (not completly visible, filled with sediment); aperture a very low umbilical arch; penultimate chamber opens into the umbilicus. Wall spinose, as in Globigerina s. str. with spine holes, spine bases and inter-pore ridges in earlier chambers.
S. Spezzaferri et al. 2018Type of wall: Spinose, spines are supported by spine collars which coalesce to form ridges. Pore concentrations average 75-85 pores/50 μm2 test surface area and pore diameters average 2 μm.
Test morphology: Low trochospiral, evolute, lobulate in outline with depressed, straight and deeply incised sutures on both sides. Fourteen chambers are arranged in 2 whorls, the 4-5 globular chambers of the last whorl increase gradually in size, the penultimate chambers opens into the umbilicus. Aperture slightly extraumbilical, a very large low umbilical arch, open, quadrangular elongated.
Size: Maximum diameter of the holotype 0.35 mm.
