Diagnosis Test trochospiral about a central column in early stage; imperforate epidermis covers subepidermal network formed by vertical and possibly horizontal exoskeletal partitions, endoskeletal layers as in the Pfenderininae but lacking secondary infilling. L. Jurassic to U. Cretaceous (Maastrichtian). (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]

Stratigraphy Kurnubiidae (to be published as a new family): Starting in the middle Jurassic with Praekurnubia, the genus Kurnubia is a typical Late Jurassic taxon replacing the Pfenderinids totally absent, but with an hypodermic network in te marginal zone of the chambers ; the Pfenderinids reappear in the Cretaceous from a Siphovalvulinid ancestor (iterative evolution).
