Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
E. Robinson and K. J. Cunningham 2022A small globular acervulinid with a central proloculus followed by a short nepionic coil of arcuate chambers, succeeded in the adult stage by one or more series of streptospirally ar- ranged orbitoidiform chambers.
Although the overall architecture bears a close resemblance to the genus Orduella SIREL, 1999, we do not include Globogypsinoides n.gen. in that genus, nor in the family Orduellidae SIREL, be- cause the nepionic chambers are distinctly arcu- ate, not subrectangular, at least in the megalo- spheric generation. For this reason and until more material becomes available for examination, we retain Globogypsinoides in the Acervulinidae. The genus differs from the globular genus Sphaero- gypsina GALLOWAY, 1933, in possessing a multiple spiral development of orbitoid-like chambers whereas the chambers in Sphaerogypsina develop in a radial pattern. The new genus differs from Protogypsina MATSUMARU & SARMA, 2010, in the test shape, which is consistently globular, and in the size and arrangement of the nepionic coiling.
