Diagnosis Test ovate in outline, circular in section, triserial, with rapidly enlarging and strongly overlapping inflated chambers, later chambers may partially or completely overlap the preceding ones, sutures strongly oblique, slightly depressed; wall calcareous, finely perforate, thin, surface smooth; aperture loop shaped, with doubly folded tongue joined to one margin of the opening, the free upper part partially filling the opening and forming a projecting fanlike to comblike tip, internal part of the toothplate forming a trough that leads into the chamber then bends to the anterior corner of the aperture, attached at both ends, lower part of the trough contacting the free tip of the tongue of the previous chamber and connecting the aperture and foramen. L. Paleocene (Danian) to Holocene; cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]Ecology Deep infaunal, free; facultative anaerobe; mud; tolerates dysoxia; detritivore; cold–temperate; shelf–bathyal.
