Diagnosis Test with high trochospiral coil of about two to three volutions, about six chambers per whorl, sutures flush and somewhat obscure, umbilicus wide and depressed, outline nonlobulate; wall coarsely agglutinated, of clear coarse grains held in very little cement; aperture a small circular areal opening about one-third the distance from the base of the chamber. Paleocene; New Zealand. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
