Description Test lenticular, subglobular or fusiform, generally planispirally coiled. Coiling uniform or presence of juvenaria. Terminal uncoilings are rare. Aperture generally basal, central, simple, occasionally replaced by foramina or cuniculi. No cribrate or complex apertures. Endoskeletal secondary deposits represented by pseudchomata, chomata and parachomata; septula of first and second order, axial fillings, and phrenotheceae. Proloculi spherical and small to renifom and larger. Septal folding planar to strongly folded in the whole chamber. Microstuctures and microtextures of wall are considered here as a suborder and superfamily criterion: Wall simple under the form of a dark tectum (Ozawainelloidea) or a neosparitized tectum (Staffelloidea; bilayered with tectum and protheca (Schubertelloidea), multilayered with tectum, tectoria and diaphanotheca (Fusulinoidea); coarsely keriothecal (Schwagerinoidea); or finely keriothecal (Neoschwagerinoidea). Aperture terminal, simple, basal, rarely areal or reduced to cuniculi and/or septal pores.
