Diagnosis Test small to moderate in size, up to about 1mm in diameter, spherical proloculus followed by tubular undivided second chamber, with early coiling as in Pilammina, then with 90¡ change in plane of coiling, followed by two to three oscillating coils, and then with planispiral stage of two to five whorls with tubular chamber becoming broad and low; wall agglutinated; aperture rounded, simple, at the open end of the tube. M. Triassic (U. Anisian) to U. Triassic (Carnian); Yugoslavia; Switzerland; Austria; Bulgaria; Poland; Czechoslovakia.
