Diagnosis Test small, ovoid to subspherical, megalospheric test about 1.5 mm to 2 mm in length, rare microspheric tests up to 2.25 mm, gradually increasing from about four chambers in the first whorl to thirteen in the adult, numerous septula aligned from chamber to chamber to form a single layer of chamberlets of oval section, no secondary chamberlets as in Praealveolina, preseptal canal of circular section; wall with basal layer thickened toward the poles to occupy almost the full height of the chamber; apertural face low, with a single row of rounded openings extending to the poles, accessory openings in the sutural groove at the posterior border of the chambers. U. Cretaceous (Cenomanian); France; Spain. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
