Description Description: Test ovoid, rarely lenticular, moderate to large in size, inflated, with adult involute whorls oscillating or sigmoidal, and last whorl occasionally evolute. Proloculus spherical, relatively wide, followed by an undivided deuteroloculus. Initial whorls streptospiral. Terminal whorls aligned to planispiral, oscillating or subsygmoidal, involute with one or two last whorls evolute. Lumen of the chamber at concavus stage or subogival (in the Type species). Wall porcelaneous, probably thin, unilamellar at the periphery and thicker, multilamellar in the axial regions. Aperture terminal, simple.
Range and distribution: Early-late Permian. Acme in Capitanian-Changhsingian, Paleotethys and Neotethys.
