Species Globigerinoides obliqua Bolli 1957


Diagnosis / Definition:
Bolli (1957):
Shape of test trochospiral; equatorial periphery distinctly lobate; axial periphery rounded. Wall calcareous, perforate, surface finely pitted. Chambers spherical, except the ultimate ones, which are compressed in a lateral oblique manner; 12-15, arranged in about 3 whorls; the 3, in large specimens 4, chambers of the last whorl increase rapidly in size; in large specimens the last chamber may be reduced again in size. Sutures on spiral side radial to oblique, depressed; on umbilical side radial, depressed. Umbilicus small. Primary aperture a distinct, often fairly high arch, interiomarginal, umbilical; one or occasionally two supplementary sutural apertures are visible in the last few chambers. Largest diameter of holotype 0.5 mm.
Discussion / Comments:
Bolli (1957):
Globigerinoides obliqua, new species, is distinguished from the Globigerinoides triloba group by having the ultimate or the last few chambers compressed in a lateral, oblique manner. In Globigerinoides triloba they remain spherical and in the subspecies sacculifera become elongate, sack like shaped.
