Diagnosis Test compressed, flabelliform to subquadrate in outline, biserial throughout, globular proloculus followed by small early chambers, later ones increasing rapidly in breadth but more slowly in height to result in a flaring test, lateral margin of a few to most pairs of chambers may be produced into spinose projections, terminal face of the chambers truncate, sutures thickened and limbate, later ones strongly recurved laterally, periphery angular; wall calcareous, finely perforate, surface ornamented by the nonperforate limbate sutures that may be broken up into nodes, and paired longitudinal costae along the median line of the test may be continuous or broken up into short segments, terminal face of the chambers ornamented with radiating rows of tiny pustules; aperture cribrate, consisting of four to ten tiny openings near the base of the apertural face and may have a somewhat larger opening at the base; reproduction plastogamic, microspheric test (smaller proloculus) appears to be the schizont generation, as only that with larger proloculus undergoes plastogamy (the gamont) and may be found fused in pairs or with the central part of the apertural region having been resorbed during the reproductive process, suggesting that the gametes of Bolivinella may be few, large and amoeboid as are those of Spirillina. Eocene to Holocene; tropical to subtropical shallow water, inner shelf, cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
