Description:
The authors believe that Globorotalia mayeri Cushman and Ellisor and Globorotalia siakensis LeRoy cannot be maintained as separate taxa. This opinion comes after reexamination of the holotype of Globorotalia mayeri and of additional illustrations of the holotype
of Globorotalia siakensis together with examination of large numbers of specimens of the plexus from Bodjonegoro-1 well in Java and from Trinidad in the Caribbean. Both taxa were described in 1939 but, due to the rules of priority, Globorotalia mayeri would
now be the valid name. We consider that Globorotalia continuosa Blow is a four-chambered variant of Globorotalia
mayeri that cannot usefully be separated
from it.
