Diagnosis Test discoidal to lenticular, numerous broad and low chambers increasing rapidly in breadth so that the spire increases rapidly in height, coiling planispiral and incompletely involute, leaving a depressed umbilicus; wall finely agglutinated, imperforate, simple in structure; apertural face high and truncate and may be slightly depressed centrally, aperture a small areal slit in the early stage as seen in thin section, becoming terminal in the expanded and nearly uncoiled later portion. L. Cretaceous (Albian); USA: Texas. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
