Diagnosis / Definition: |
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Test low trochospiral, three to three and one-half subglobular chambers in the final whorl, periphery broadly rounded, chambers more inflated on umbilical side than on spiral side, increasing uniformly in size as added; spiral sutures curved, depressed, on umbilical side almost radial, depressed;
surface covered with low, rounded tubercles and smooth, thick cortex as in Pulleniatina;
umbilicus narrow; aperture wide, high arch, interiomarginal, umbilical-extraumbilical with an indistinct rim. |
Discussion / Comments: |
Kennett & Srinivasan (1983):
Gr. (G.) inflata is distinguished from Gr. (G.)puncticulata by usually having three to three and one-half chambers in the final whorl, greater test inflation, a broadly rounded
periphery, and a large, high-arched aperture. |
