Diagnosis Test lenticular, single equatorial layer of chambers completely covered on both sides by lateral layers, bilocular embryo followed by one whorl of enrolled chambers with basal aperture, outer walls of spiral chambers with radial stolons in equatorial plane, neanic stage with vertical radial plates projecting into the equatorial layer from both sides, radial plates may fuse at the center or may elongate to cross the equatorial layer, becoming more irregular toward the periphery, lateral chambers in regular tiers of two to nine layers directly overlying the radial plates and interconnected by basal stolons and fine pores, pillars present. U. Cretaceous (Campanian); Cuba; USA: Texas, Louisiana, Florida. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
