Diagnosis Test with proloculus giving rise to many radiating tubular extensions, attached throughout their length and of greatest breadth against the attachment, the tubular extensions at least partly enclosing the cytoplasm, rather than being open to the substrate beneath; wall agglutinated, of very fine silt or clay; apertures at the ends of the tubular extensions. U. Carboniferous, U. Pennsylvanian; USA: Texas. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
