Diagnosis Test planispirally enrolled and involute in the early stage, later may tend to uncoil and flare, up to about ten chambers in the final whorl, sutures radial, distinct, depressed, subepidermal mesh formed by elongate primary and short secondary exoskeletal beams vertical to the septa and aligned from chamber to chamber, adjacent beams connected by numerous short horizontal rafters that do not extend inward beyond the ends of the secondary beams; wall of imperf orate microgranular calcite; primary aperture elliptical to slitlike, areal, slightly produced on a necklike elevation, near the base of the apertural face in the early stage, becoming central in later chambers, numerous secondary apertural pores scattered over the apertural face except for a marginal zone near the chamber periphery. U. Cretaceous (Cenomanian); Israel. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
