Discussion / Comments:
Bolli (1957):
Globorotatia pseudomayeri, new species, is morphologically very close to G. opima nana Bolli and G. mayeri Cushman and Ellisor. It differs from the former in that the chambers of the last whorl increase more rapidly in size. The last whorl consists of 4 to 4 1/2 chambers, whereas in G. mayeri it has 5 or 6. G. pseudomayeri is restricted to the Hantkenina aragonensis zone of the Navet formation, whereas 0. opima nana is found from the Truncorotaloides rohri zone, Navet formation to the Globigerina ciperoensis ciperoensis zone, Cipero formation. Globorotalia mayeri is restricted to the Cipero formation and lower part of the Lengua formation.
