Reference: Hornibrook, Brazier & Strong 1989, p.159, Fig. 38.
Synonymy: 1939, loc. cit. p. 319.
Description: Distinguished by its deeply concave medial face and by its swollen sides and strong costae.
Distribution: Tongaporutuan to Recent.
Comment: Differentiates from populations of B. pohana at about the level of last appearance of Globoquadrina dehiscens according to Scott (1978, N.Z. jl. geol. geophys 21(5): 617-634). Scott regarded occasional lower Tongaporutuan records of B. pliozea as local variants in B. pohana populations. It is the most abundant Bolivinita species in the Wanganui Series.
