Remarks. Specimens from Miyakojima Island exhibit a transitional form between G. conoidea and Globorotalia conomiozea . It has four chambers in the final whorl similar to G. conomiozea , while the umbilical side is less vaulted than typical G. conoidea as figured by Kennett and Srinivasan (1983). Natori (1976, table 2) showed in his range chart that G. conomiozea evolved into G. conoidea ; whereas Kennett and Srinivasan (1983) noted the opposite and showed that G. conoidea disappeared in the uppermost Miocene. In Miyakojima Island, G. conomiozea disappears earlier than G. conoidea as noted by Natori (1976) in Okinawa-jima, both in the Pliocene. Based on those reports, it can be stated that G. conoidea and G. conomiozea are potentially useful indicators of the upper Miocene to lower Pliocene of subtropical to temperate seas, but their ranges vary between areas, and further stratigraphic studies are called for.
Occurrence. Common in the upper part of the Yonahama Formation.
