Diagnosis Test trochospiral, biconvex, all chambers visible on the strongly convex spiral side, only those of the final whorl visible on the umbilical side, an imperforate lip, astral lobe, or folium at the umbilical extremity of the chambers is separated from the perforate ventral wall of the main chamber lumen by a shallow transverse groove, secondary deposits on the folium gradually build thick lamellar pillars that fill the umbilical area, internally a septal flap attaches to the peripheral margin of the septum and secondarily doubles the septal wall, umbilical flap extends from the previous septum to the apertural face to limit the chamber lumen around the umbilicus, forming a spiral canal that encircles the central umbilical mass of pillars, sutures imperforate, may be elevated, oblique and curved back at the periphery on the spiral side, nearly radial, deeply incised with feathered margins on the umbilical side, periphery angular; wall calcareous, distinctly perforate except for the imperforate peripheral margin and the lip, pustules and granules of the central area of the umbilical side; simple interiomarginal aperture and intercameral foramina, extending from the umbilicus toward the periphery. U. Cretaceous (Coniacian) to Eocene; cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
