Diagnosis Test free, large, from 2.25 mm to nearly 6 mm in diameter, consisting of planispiral to low trochospiral enrolled siliceous tubes, the coiling somewhat overlapping on the umbilical side but not completely involute, initial whorl and proloculus not preserved, possibly because the early stage was wholly organic and lacked agglutinated particles as does Spirillinoides, tubular chamber up to 1 mm in diameter in final whorl; wall agglutinated, of fine detrital quartz grains, fused by deposits of secondary silica, but probably flexible and readily deformed in life, surface with faint transverse growth lines; aperture at the open end of the tube. L. Cambrian; Norway: Finmark. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
