Subspecies Praeorbulina glomerosa circularis Blow 1956


Diagnosis / Definition:
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Test nearly spherical with last chamber almost globular, inflated enveloping the earlier part of the test more than 75 percent; sutures depressed, surface perforate; apertures circular to subcircular, located in the sutures between the last penultimate and earlier chamber and not in the area of final chamber.
Discussion / Comments:
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Pr. glomerosa circularis forms part of the evolutionary lineage leading to Orbulina universa d'Orbigny and has intermediate morphology linking its immediate ancestor, Pr. glomerosa circularis is distinguished from Pr. glomerosa glomerosa in having circular outline and smaller and more numerous apertures, along the basal sutures. It differs from Orbulina suturalis in lacking areal apertures.
Bolli & Saunders (1985):
P. glomerosa circularis differs from P. glomerosa glomerosa in having many circular, pore like apertures between the last chamber and earlier ones rather than the slit like apertures of the latter subspecies. It is almost completely spherical with sutures hardly incised. It differs from Orbulina suturalis in having all the apertures confined to the sutures.
