Species Globoquadrina praedehiscens Blow & Banner 1962


Diagnosis / Definition:
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Test large, equatorial periphery slightly lobulate, chambers spherical, those of final whorl strongly laterally compressed; three in the final whorl, increasing very rapidly in size as added; spiral sutures curved, depressed; umbilical sutures, radial, depressed, surface coarsely perforate; umbilicus narrow to fairly wide; aperture interiomarginal, umbilical, with distinct umbilical tooth.
Discussion / Comments:
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Gq. praedehiscens is distinguished from Gq. dehiscens by possessing a more rounded and less quadrate test, three chambers in the final whorl, and a lower and narrower apertural face, which directly faces the umbilicus. This species differs from Gq. venezuelana in having three instead of four chambers in the final whorl and in having the chambers of the final whorl laterally more compressed.
Van Eijden & Smit (1991):
Remarks. G. praedehiscens is connected to Globigerina euapertura Jenkins, 1960), its probable ancestor, by intermediate forms. Aberrant final chambers occur commonly.
