Diagnosis Test narrow, elongate, enlarging gradually from a rounded base, microspheric generation with early triserial stage followed by a short biserial stage, megalospheric generation with proloculus followed immediately by biserial stage, both generations with chambers subcylindrical and somewhat inflated in the uniserial adult, lower chamber margin crenulated, sutures distinct, depressed, overlapped by the chamber crenulations; wall calcareous, finely perforate, surface smooth or with fine longitudinal striae or low costae; aperture terminal, elliptical to reniform, with short neck and distinct lip and provided with spoutlike internal toothplate that extends to the previous foramen, those of successive chambers changing orientation by 120¡ to 180¡, spout may terminate in a small opening adjacent to the concave side of the aperture but not connected to it. U. Cretaceous (Turonian to Maastrichtian); North America; South America; Africa. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
