Original description Test comparatively large, conical, the base slightly spreading, sides slightly concave, chambers numerous; sutures not depressed; wall fairly smooth. Diameter at base 1.30 mm.; height 1.10 mm. Holotype (Cushman Coll. 7693) from the Millsap formation of the Strawn collected from the Kickapoo Falls limestone at Kickapoo Falls, Parker Co., Texas, by James, A. Waters. This is a fine large species, and seems to be characteristic of definite horizons in the lower Pennsylvanian.
