Diagnosis Test free, elongate, short early stage triserial and triangular in section, later stage flattened and biserial with subparallel sides, finally becoming irregularly uniserial with subspherical but somewhat angular chambers; wall finely agglutinated; aperture terminal, rounded, on a distinct neck. L. Cretaceous (Aptian to Albian); England; France; Germany; USA: California. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
