Diagnosis Test trochospiral, planoconvex to inequally biconvex with flatter spiral side, about three slowly enlarging volutions, ten to twelve quadrangular-appearing chambers in the final whorl, sutures limbate, oblique, very slightly curved, umbilical side convex, chambers broad and low, converging at the closed umbilicus, sutures curved and flush to weakly depressed, periphery subangular; wall calcareous, optically granular, thick and lamellar, coarsely and regularly perforate, surface smooth; aperture a low interiomarginal slit on the umbilical side, extending from about midway between the umbilicus and periphery across the periphery to continue a short distance onto the spiral side, bordered above with a low lip. U. Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) to Holocene; cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
