Species Globoturborotalita tenella Parker 1958


Discussion / Comments:
Chaisson & Pearson (1997):
This species is identical to Gt. rubescens except for the addition of an accessory aperture. The presence of the accessory aperture led Parker (1958) to assign it to the polyphyletic genus Globigerinoides. Kennett and Srinivasan (1983) acknowledge the artificial nature of Globigerinoides, but retained it until more work was carried out on the lineages involved. In the interest of paring Globigerinoides down to a monophyletic genus we interpret the close resemblance of this species to Gt. rubescens as evidence for phylogenetic relatedness, and we reassign it to the genus Globoturborotalita.
