Diagnosis Test trochospiral, unequally biconvex, periphery subacute, bilocular embryonal stage followed by numerous, broad, low chambers that are oblique on the spiral side and strongly arched on the umbilical side around a central depression; an incomplete partition within the chambers parallels the septa on either side, attaches to the chamber floor on the umbilical side and to a series of very regularly arranged transverse partitions that are perpendicular to the septa and attach to the inside of the apertural face or to the distal wall of the earlier chambers, and may project from either the roof or floor of the chambers, hence are reflected as a network on both the spiral and umbilical sides of the test; wall of thin imperforate and granular calcite, probably agglutinated; aperture a row of areal openings across the apertural face. U. Cretaceous (U. Cenomanian to L. Turonian); Iraq; Crete. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
