Iaccarino (1985): According to Aker's description the small size, the rounded and lobate periphery, the coarsely perforate wall and the small, low arched and thin lipped aperture are the major distinctive features of the species. According to Blow (1969), G. druryi is the ancestor of G. nepenthes, while Brönnimann & Resig (1971) consider G. druryi closer to G. falconensis. G. falconensis. as described and figured by Blow (1959) differs from G. druryi in its larger size, in the much more developed apertural lip and in the flatter trochospire. G. pseudodruryi and G. nepenthoides both described by Brönnimann & Resig (1971) are here included in G. druryi. The creation of the two taxa hardly appears justified, taking into account the variability of the species. Early forms of G. druryi range stratigraphically lower than recorded by Blow (1969). Their occurrence is consistent with the range of G. pseudodruryi and G. nepenthoides. Srinivasan (1975): Distinguished by its smaller size and arched aperture bordered by a distinct lip. Brönnimann and Resig (1971) considered Globigerina druryi to be closer to G. falconensis than to G. nepenthes. In the examined samples, G. druryi appears to grade upward into G. nepenthes. Chaisson & Leckie (1993): Similar species: Typical Globigerina nepenthes are not common at this site, and early forms of G. nepenthes and late forms of G. druryi are gradational in their interval of stratigraphic overlap. Globigerina woodi gives rise to both G. druryi and G. connecta in the lower Miocene (Kennett and Srinivasan, 1983), and transitional forms between these three species may be difficult to distinguish (e.g., see Plate 1, Fig. 16). Although G. connecta and G. druryi are both derived from sensu stricto G. woodi through the lowering of the arch of the primary aperture, G. druryi has a much heavier lip over the aperture and a distinctly more lobate equatorial outline than G. connecta. |
