Diagnosis Test globular, trochospiral, spiral side convex, chambers enlarging rapidly, few per whorl, sutures curved to radial, depressed, umbilicus small, periphery rounded; wall calcareous, perforate, with prominent funnel-shaped pore pits and pore ridges producing a cancellate surface; primary aperture interiomarginal, bordered by a beaded rim, umbilical-extraumbilical in the early stage, later more extensive and spiroumbilical, accompanied by secondary sutural apertures on the spiral side. M. to U. Miocene; Algeria. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
