Description: Distinguished by the tiny, low-spired smooth test with a lipped umbilical aperture.
Distribution: Upper Whaingaroan? Duntroonian to Recent (fide Jenkins).
Comment: Jenkins derives G. juvenilis from Globorotalia munda, based primarily on samples from the intensely bioturbated glauconitic sands below typical upper Kokoamu Greensand at the Earthquakes, Waitaki Valley. Study of these two taxa in a less disturbed sedimentary situation would help to verify their close relationship.
