Diagnosis Test small, enrolled in a low trochospire, planoconvex to inequally biconvex, chambers flattened on the spiral side in the early stage, strongly convex and angular on the umbilical side, six to seven chambers in the final whorl, final chamber globular, sutures radial, depressed, umbilicus open and deep, broad and somewhat truncate periphery with angular but noncarinate peripheral shoulder, peripheral outline angularly lobate; wall calcareous, perforate, surface with numerous strongly developed pustules, commonly larger and spinulelike at the peripheral angle and umbilical shoulder, adjacent spinules occasionally may fuse to result in the false appearance of a keel on the peripherally produced chambers; aperture a small, high interiomarginal arch, extending from the umbilicus about half the distance to the periphery, those of earlier chambers may be visible in the open umbilicus. M. Eocene (Lutetian) to U. Eocene (L. Bartonian); USA: Louisiana; New Zealand; Northwest Europe. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
