Diagnosis Test large, circular in plan, centrally umbonate and narrowed at the periphery, microspheric test up to nearly 6 cm in diameter, megalospheric test up to 14 mm across, young microspheric form planispiral and evolute, megalospheric one with globular proloculus and reniform deuteroloculus followed by a few undivided nepionic chambers, then planispiral and peneropliform and finally with annular chambers subdivided into numerous chamberlets, those of successive cyclic chambers not aligned, chamberlets of microspheric and postnepionic megalospheric chambers formed by radial folds of the septal flap, the resultant double-walled secondary septa enclosing intraseptal canals in the interlocular space, X-or Y-shaped stolons lie in the median plane where the fold of the septal flap touches the inner apertural wall, a thin horizontal lamella in the median plane separates the stolons and results in a double foraminal aperture on the distal side of the septum, many vertically superimposed stolons also may occur around large megalospheric embryos, sutural canals simple and vertical as in Heterostegina, marginal cord present in the early spiral part of the test but disappears with the first annular chamber, canal system modified in the annular chambers to conform to the circular septa, sutural canals simple and unbranched; wall calcareous, hyaline, finely perforate, surface ornamented with raised annuli or may have concentric rings of pustules. L. Oligocene to Holocene; tropical Indo-Pacific. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
