Original description Diagnosis: Finely agglutinated shell of high conical shape. Chamber arrangement trochospiral in early stages of growth, uniserial in later stages. Cone base almost flat in early growth stages, distinctly convex in adult chambers. Exoskeleton consisting of simple radial partitions (beams and intercalary beams) irregularly alternating or in line from one chamber to the next. The endoskeleton consists of columnar free-standing pillars positioned in the adaxial zone, delimited by a marginal trough and in line from one chamber to the following one. The early growth stages in a megalospheric specimen consist of an excentric proloculus followed by a hemispherical deuteroconch and by a trochospiral nepiont that has a coiling axis, which may be considerably inclined, or even perpendicular, with respect to the axis of the adult cone. In a microspheric specimen, the microsphere is found in an even more eccentric position followed by a tightly coiled nepiont exhibiting at least four whorls. During early ontogeny, the exoskeleton seems to appear first, the endoskeleton shortly afterwards.
