Discussion / Comments:
Bolli (1957):
A considerable variation is observed within the species Globigerina ciperoensis Bolli. The forms included originally in this species (Bolli, 1954) have a characteristically large umbilicus; they are now given subspecies rank (G. ciperoensis ciperoensis). All gradations occur to forms with a small umbilicus associated with the typical representatives, but those with smaller umbilicus become predominant towards the end of the Globigerina ciperoensis ciperoensis zone, where the typical G. ciperoensis ciperoensis disappear. They continue into the Globorotalia kugleri zone and lower part of the Catapsy drax dissimilis zone. This form is here described as a new subspecies, Globigerina ciperoensis angudiumbilicata. Another subspecies, Globigerina ciperoensis angulisuturalis has been erected for specimens that show deep, angular, U shaped sutures between the chambers of the last whorl. Transitional forms to G. ciperoensis ciperoensis are common. The new subspecies appears to be restricted to the Globorotalia opima opima zone and the Globigerina ciperoensis ciperoensis zone.
Van Eijden & Smit (1991):
Remarks. This zonal marker is very rare at Sites 757 and 758. Most specimens we observed are intermediate with G. angustiumbilicata Bolli, 1957a.
