.

Reference: Hornibrook, Brazier & Strong 1989, p.52, Fig. 12:13.

Description: Calcareous; planispiral, somewhat involute, biumbilicate, globular chambers; finally with 2 paired chambers on either side of coiling plane, each chamber often with its own aperture.

Distribution: Upper Haumurian.

Comment: "Biglobigerinella"actually represents an abberant, gerontic form of Globigerinelloides, and the biglobigerinellid condition is therefore of little taxonomic significance.
