Diagnosis Test planoconvex, rounded to ovate in outline, chambers one-half coil in length but hemispherical rather than tubular, nearly completely overlapping previous chambers on the strongly convex side of the test, leaving two chambers visible in the young stage but later with final chamber completely overlapping others on that side, coiling evolute on the flattened or slightly convex side where all earlier chambers remain visible; wall calcareous, imperforate, porcelaneous, white, surface smooth; aperture terminal, rounded, facing the flattened side of the test, with a broad spatulate tooth or flap. Holocene; Galapagos Islands. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
