Diagnosis Test free, ovoid, with an elongate groove at one side that probably represents the aperture; interior with regular vertical partitions subdividing the chamber interior and may also have transverse partitions, resulting in an alveolar appearance; wall very finely agglutinated, with little cement; aperture consists of the elongate groove, although possibly this may include more than one linearly aligned small opening, interior partitions also may be pierced by a hole. U. Ordovician (Ashgillian) or L. Silurian (Valentian); Austria. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
