Diagnosis Test trochospiral, later stage may have reduced number of chambers per whorl, chamber interior of advanced taxa may be subdivided by vertical or horizontal exoskeletal partitions or both, resulting in a reticulate subepidermal layer; wall of imperforate microgranular calcite with some agglutinated material. L. Jurassic (Lias) to U. Cretaceous (Maastrichtian). (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
