Description: Distinguished from G. triloculinoides by the more compressed chambers, which do not expand so rapidly with test growth thus not producing such a distinctly trilobed form; aperture slit-like with a distinct lip.
Distribution: Heretaungan? Porangan to Runangan.
Comment: Distinguishing G. linaperta from G. angiporoides in the uppermost Eocene, is considered here to be too subtle and subjective to place much reliance on its last appearance to locate the Eocene/Oligocene boundary.
