Original description Description. Shell moderate to large size, thick fusiform, nearly horizontal to slightly concave median por- tion, stright to convex lateral slopes, and bluntly pointed poles. Mature individuals usually possess 7 to 8 whorls. Coiling is uniform. Spirotheca thick composed of tectum and coarsely alveolar keriotheca. Septa are rather regularly and intensely fluted throughout shell, but in median part low septa loops developed. Phrenothecae slightly developed, but may be absent. Cuniculi present. Proloculus usually large, sphaerical or subsphaerical in shape. Weak chomata present only on proloculus. Massive secondary deposits fill much of shell between tunnel area and poles except in outermost whorl. Tunnel low and not very wide.
Distribution and age. Everywhere in Tethys, Koryak Range, California; Early Permian (Cisuralian), Bolorian; Late Permian (Tethysian), Kubergandian and Murgabian.
