Discussion / Comments:
Van Eijden & Smit (1991):
Remarks. Intermediate forms with G. euapertura Jenkins, 1960 occur. It grades
into G. bulloides d'Orbigny, 1826 and Globoquadrina altispira globosa Bolli,
1957a in the Oligocene-Miocene at Site 758. Aberrant final chambers occur
commonly.
Srinivasan (1975):
According to Blow (1959), Globigerina praebulloides is ancestral to G.
bulloides, from which it differs in having a more equatorial outline and smaller
and less strongly arched aperture.

Diagnosis / Definition:
Blow (1969):
Description of holotype: The moderate size test consists of about 12-13
chambers arranged in a distinct trochospire with five chambers present in the
last whorl but only 4 chambers are present in the penultimate whorl. The
chambers are inflated, subglobular and not much embracing. The dorsal and
ventral intercameral sutures are sharply incised and radial in direction. The
umbilicus is wide, open and deep. The aperture is a low intraumbilical arch
without a distinct rim or lip. The trochospire opens rapidly but the coiling
mode is uniform throughout ontogeny without any noticeable change in the
laxity or tightness of the coiling. The dorsal spire is high and protrudes
significantly above the dorsal surfaces of the chambers of the last whorl. From
the dorsal side, the chambers are seen to increase in size quite rapidly and the
spiral suture is seen to be distinctly depressed. Wall, calcareous, radial hyaline
[62a], finely perforate with the pores opening into small pits. The ridges
between the "honey-comb" network of pits are not greatly thickened and the
pits are of much the same diameter as the exterior parts of the pores. Maximum
diameter of holotype 0.33 mm.
Discussion / Comments:
Blow (1969):
Remarks: As viewed from the ventral side Globigerina praebulloides
pseudociperoensis is morphologically very close to G.ouachitaensis
ciperoensis. Purely from the ventral side intraspecific variation amongst
specimens referable to Pseudociperoensis appears to be greater than the interspecific variation seen in comparing populations of pseudociperoensis with
populations of ciperoensis. However, the chambers of pseudociperoensis are
less closely appressed than in ciperoensis and this, is reflected in the ventral
