Original description Diagnosis. Shells with porcelaneous wall and multiple apertures. Microspheric forms unknown. Flexostylic megalosphere followed by chambers with planispiral, involute arrangement. Alveolar exoskeleton composed of several beams and one generation of rafters. Endoskeleton restricted to slight ridges. Ridges fused with beams at the proximal part of the chamber. Multiple foramina distributed in two rows and aligned from one chamber to the next. Foramina of the lower row regularly alternated with ridges. Additional foramina irregularly distributed in a second upper row.
