Taxonomy
Citation: Globorotalia
Rank: genus
Type species: Pulvinulina menardii var. tumida
Taxonomic discussion: Virtually every planktonic foraminiferal species with an extraumbilical to peripheral aperture has been assigned to the genus Globorotalia. However, although the
use of the apertural characteristic as the sole criterion has the advantage of simplicity of application, it does not necessarily reflect true phylogenetic relationships between species or
patterns of evolutionary radia- tion, which have marked the Neogene planktonic foraminiferal assemblages (Cifelli, 1969).
Blow (1969) divided the Neogene globorotaliids into two subgenera, Globorotalia (Globorotalia) Globorotalia (Turborotalia),
and on the basis of the presence or absence of a peripheral
Gr.
keel. Such a procedure, however, ignores the phyletic relationships between species and often splits a continuous evolutionary bioseries into two subgenera, as for example the
(Turborotalia) peripheroronda Gr. (Globorotalia) fohsi robusta
to bioseries. Thus, Blow's (1969) grouping is artificial from a taxonomic point of view. [Kennett & Srinivasan 1983].

The distinct lineages of Globorotalia have been assigned to different genera or sub-genera by many workers - e.g. Bandy (1972, 1975), Fleisher (1974), Kennett & Srinivasan (1983), Aze
et al. 2011. However, the nomenclatural validity of these taxa is in doubt, so here we simply identify them as lineages. Despite this the classification essentially follows that of Aze et al.
2011. [Wade, Young 2016]

NB The short diagnoses are used in the tables of daughter-taxa to act as quick summaries of the differences between e.g. species of one genus. They have initially been copied from the diagnostic
characters/distinguishing features sections of the Eocene and Paleocene Atlases, they will be edited as the site is developed.
