Diagnosis Test lenticular, bilocular megalospheric embryonic apparatus enclosed by thick wall, followed by spiral chambers for about threefourths of a whorl, retrovert apertures present from the third or fourth chamber in the magalospheric test, and juvenarium may have a peripheral sulcus, first seven chambers spiralling around the microspheric protoconch lack a retrovert aperture, equatorial layer of arcuate to diamond-shaped chambers interconnected by stolons, lateral layers of chambers on both sides form irregular tiers of about five to six chambers at the center of the test decreasing in number outward until the outermost equatorial chambers are uncovered at the flangelike periphery, pillars may be present in the central part of the test. U. Cretaceous (Campanian to Maastrichtian); Mexico; Cuba; USA: Florida, Louisiana. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
