Diagnosis Test streptospirally enrolled in the early stage, later planispiral, with about nine chambers in the final whorl, and finally tending to uncoil, septa gently curved, reflecting the curvature of the outer wall of the slightly inflated chambers and somewhat thickened at the inner ends, sutures incised; wall calcareous, microgranular, dark, single layered, supplementary deposits well developed, especially in the final whorl, resulting in much thickened chamber floors, massive and robust chomatal deposits in the last chambers; aperture simple and basal in the early stage, becoming areal and cribrate in the uncoiled part. L. Carboniferous (Visean); England; USSR. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
