Diagnosis Test with nucleoconch followed by cyclic chambers that are subdivided into chamberlets as in the Soritinae but with thick laminae piled up on the flat or concave sides of the test, laminae may be closely appressed, or may enclose a stolon system, or may have stolons leading to small vacuoles or chamberlets. U. Paleocene (Ilerdian) to M. Eocene (Lutetian). (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
