"P. roestae, as described above, shows general similarities, namely 1. a trochospirally coiled, chambered shell of small size, 2. indications of plastogamic reproduction by its ventral, radial, ornamentational grooves indépendant of or in addition to sutural positions, 3. dense, heavy ornamentation on the dorsal side, exceptional for shells of such small size, and 4. the group of piles filling the narrow umbilical space, with representative genera of the family Glabratellidae. In addition, there is a striking similarity of the internal morphology of the shell between P. roestae and at least one species of Discorbinoides. Therefore, the genus Praestorrsella Gowda,1978 is transferred here from the rotaliid subfamily Rotaliinae to the family Glabratellidae."

Diagnosis Test trochospiral, inequally biconvex, spiral side more strongly convex and involute, the extensive calcareous deposits and prominent central and strongly pustulose umbo obscuring all but the latest of the seven to eleven chambers of the final whorl, those sutures visible on the spiral side are thickened, elevated, and curved back at the periphery to grade into the angular peripheral margin, nearly obscured but radial on the umbilical side, no external sutural fissures but septa have rotalid intraseptal passages, central area of umbilical side filled with thick laminar pillars, pierced by vertical canals that open to the surface as large pores; wall calcareous, lamellar, optically radial, finely perforate, center of umbilical side covered with knobs reflecting the ends of the pillars, chambers of the last whorl with numerous ribs that may be radially aligned, the surface knobs, pustules, and ribs obscuring the pores except on the later chambers where they may be visible between the inflational deposits; aperture a simple narrow interiomarginal slit on the umbilical side near the periphery.
