Diagnosis Test small, trochospiral, planoconvex, with flattened spiral side of two to two and a half whorls, chambers progressively broader as added, and later chambers crescentic, sutures depressed, curved, and oblique, umbilical side moderately to strongly convex, with centrally depressed umbilicus, sutures radial but largely obscured by the addition of rhomboidal and inflated coverplates over the aperture and sutures, forming a central stellate area on the umbilical side, periphery acutely angled to subcarinate; wall calcareous, perforate, no surface ornamentation; aperture a high interiomarginal arch, umbilical in position, the secondarily formed coverplate leaving open only a low slit. M. to U. Eocene; Mexico; Cuba; USA: California; Pakistan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
