Original description Diagnosis. Test elongate-compressed, biumbilicate, early portion planispirally to slightly oscillating enrolled with numerous chambers disposed in a semi-involute arrangement. Later portion uncoiling rectilinear or peneropline, with few slightly arched chambers increasing rapidly in breadth as added. Megalospheric forms posses a complex embryo, formed by a spherical protoconch, and a closely attaching hemispherical deuteroconch, both connected by a single opening. Foramina in the early stage simple, basal to areal, becoming multiple with several small close-set openings, equal in diameter to the wall alveolae. Interior of adult chambers may have short peristomal rims at the margins of the circular foramina, and sporadically, also interseptal strengthenings at the chamber margins, preferentially of adult chambers. The thick wall is dark-microgranular-like to agglutinated, traversed by numerous simple alveolae with constant diameter throughout their length and covered by a thin, often abraded epiderm. Diameter of alveolae equals the one of the foramina. Aperture multiple.
