Diagnosis Test elongate, about three to five wide and low chambers per whorl in a high trochospiral coil, chambers fewer and less broad than in Buliminella, intercameral sutures strongly oblique and depressed, final chamber may be nearly central in position; wall calcareous, optically radial, finely perforate, with evenly distributed pores, surface smooth; aperture in the early stage loop shaped as in Buliminella, but becoming terminal, rounded, and produced on a neck in the adult, tubular tooth plate visible within the apertural opening, continuing within to attach to the side of the previous foramen. U. Eocene to L. Pliocene; Ecuador; USA: California; Italy. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
