Diagnosis Test lenticular, biconvex, and biumbonate, trochospiral, with about two and a half to three whorls, ten to eleven chambers in the final whorl, sutures curved and limbate on the spiral side, umbilical side with nearly straight and radial sutures around the elevated umbo, periphery angular, carinate; wall calcareous, coarsely perforate on the spiral side, perforations in early chambers only near the spiral suture but cover most of the later chamber surfaces, umbilical side sparsely perforate or without pores; aperture a low interiomarginal and equatorial arch at the base of the apertural face, on the periphery and above the keel of the previous whorl, bordered by a small lip. Paleocene to Holocene; cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]Ecology Infaunal epifaunal, clinging; hard substrates; passive suspension feeder?; cold; shelf–bathyal. [details]
