Wall calcareous, perforate, surface distinctly spinose. Chambers angular, inflated; about 12, arranged in 2-2 1/2 3 whorls, the 5-6 chambers of the last whorl increasing rapidly in size. Sutures on dorsal side slightly curved to oblique, slightly depressed; on umbilical side radial, distinctly depressed. Umbilicus fairly narrow, deep, open.

Discussion / Comments:
Bolli (1957):
Globorotalia formosa gracilis Bolli, new species, new subspecies, differs from the related G. aequa Cushman and Renz in possessing a more distinct but thinner peripheral keel and more chambers in the last whorl. G. formosa gracilis is regarded as the ancestor of G. formosa formosa Bolli, new species, new subspecies.
