Diagnosis Test trochospiral, subglobular to lenticular, or compressed; wall surface smooth to moderately pustulose, nonmuricate and nonspinose, surface of the adult may have a secondarily formed thick calcite crust; aperture interiomarginal, umbilical-extraumbilical, with rim or flaplike lip. Paleocene to Holocene. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
