Description Test slightly compressed in a low trochospiral coil, periphery rounded, spiral side partially evolute around an umbonal boss, umbilical side involute, chambers numerous, broad, and low, whorls progressively enlarging and may produce a somewhat flaring test, chambers with a flaplike projection overhanging the umbilicus, those of successive chambers overlapping, sutures curved, depressed, periphery rounded: wall calcareous, optically granular, finely perforate, surface smooth and without pustules: aperture a small interiomarginal and nearly equatorial arch, extending somewhat onto the umbilical side.
