Description Description: Test free (or semi-attached?). Proloculus followed by a deuteroloculus, undivided and streptospirally coiled. The terminal stage is uncoiled and slightly zigzagging or irregular. Wall dark, porcelaneous or microgranular or aragonitic; perhaps with a fine agglutinate. Aperture at the extremity of the deuteroloculus.
Range and distribution: Skythian-Anisian of Bulgaria (Trifonova 1978; Loeblich & Tappan 1987). Rhaetian of central Papua New Guinea (Kristan-Tollmann 1990; Kaminski et al. 2008). Discovered in the latest Changhsingian- earliest Triassic of the northwestern Dolomites (South Tyrol, Italy; this study).

Diagnosis Test free, proloculus followed by streptospirally enrolled tubular undivided second chamber, in the later stage coiling continues in a single direction in a high trochospiral coil; wall finely agglutinated, surface smooth; aperture at the open end of the tube. L. Triassic (Scythian) to M. Triassic (Anisian); Bulgaria. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
