Diagnosis Test trochospiral, close coiled, biconvex, chambers enlarging gradually, sutures radial, slightly depressed, internal partition flat, one margin attached to the dorsal lip of the aperture and the other attached to the chamber wall on the umbilical side, resulting in the appearance of supplementary sutures and supplementary chambers; wall calcareous, aragonitic, finely perforate, surface smooth; aperture a lateromarginal slit on the umbilical side of the test as in Epistomina, closed by test material as a new chamber is added, intercameral foramen areal. U. Jurassic (Oxfordian) to L. Cretaceous; USSR: N. Caucasus; Azerbaydzhan; Lithuania. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
