Description Description: Test free, large and globular. Proloculus spherical followed by a deuteroloculus tubular, undivided, and streptospirally coiled. The coiling of the tubular chamber around the proloculus is streptospiral and tight; the lumina are relatively low. Wall dark, porcelaneous or microgranular, “including slight amounts of foreign admixtures” (Pantić 1965). Aperture at the extremity of the deuteroloculus.
Range and distribution: Anisian of Montenegro (Pantić 1965); Giudicarie zone, Dolomites, Northern Calcareous Alps, Dinarides, Carpathians, Balkans, Greece, Turkey, and South China (Rettori 1995). Skythian of Serbia, Hydra Island (Greece), ?Kumaun (Himalaya), southern and northwestern Szechuan (China) (Urošević 1988; Rettori et al. 1994).

Diagnosis Test large, spherical, attaining more than 1 mm in diameter, globular proloculus followed by narrow elongate tubular and undivided enrolled second chamber, early whorls tightly coiled and streptospiral, with plane of coiling changing slowly, adult with very large number of whorls, up to about sixty; wall imperforate, calcareous, with small amount of incorporated foreign material; aperture not observed, probably at the open end of the tube. M, Triassic (Anisian); Yugoslavia: Montenegro. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
