Diagnosis Test discoidal but with differentiated sides, up to 2 mm in diameter, periphery broadly rounded, early stage planispirally coiled, from four to ten enrolled chambers in the megalospheric test, up to fourteen in the microspheric test, postembryonic chambers increasing rapidly in length, becoming embracing and pavonine, chambers annular in the adult, lateral walls with corrugations, especially near the sutures, that alternate from chamber to chamber so that ridges and the underlying extensions of the chamber lumen from one chamber overlap the infolded part of that preceding, chamber prolongations may be enlarged and irregular on the ventral side, septal flap formed against the previous septum as new chambers are added, canal system symmetrical on dorsal and ventral sides, juvenile stage with spiral and septal canals, adult with septal and radial canals having branches to the surface that terminate in coarse pores, final pair of annular canals opens by a ring of pores in the position to be occupied by the radial canals of the succeeding chamber; wall calcareous, optically radial, additional lamellae deposited over the entire test as each new chamber is added, wall perforations much smaller than canal openings and may open into the canals or directly to the surface, apertural face may be imperforate or perforate as is the rest of the test wall. U. Paleocene to M. Miocene; warm water, cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
