Diagnosis Parasitic, burrowing into the equatorial layer of Orbitoides, test trochospirally enrolled in the early stage as in Anomalinoides, about two whorls with broadly rounded periphery and six to eight inflated chambers in the final whorl, sutures straight, radial, and slightly depressed, then with more irregularly added and lobate trochospiral chambers, still later the irregular chambers become tubular and early chambers are resorbed, at maximum size the large tubular chambers occupy about one-half the diameter of the host and form a wide loop around the Orbitoides embryo, the elongate chambers being separated by thin and fragile septa; wall calcareous, coarsely perforate but with nearly imperforate periphery in the coiled stage, surface covered with numerous needlelike spines that anchor the test within the cavities burrowed into the host test, later burrowing stage with relatively thin and sparsely perforate walls; aperture in the early stage a low interiomarginal slit with narrow lip, extending onto the spiral side along the spiral suture. U. Cretaceous (L. Campanian to U. Maastrichtian); France; Netherlands. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
