Diagnosis Test elongate, flaring slightly, moderately compressed, oval in section, chambers biserially arranged, increasing gradually in relative height as added, final chamber nearly central in position with thick elongate neck, sutures straight and depressed, nearly horizontal; wall calcareous, optical character unknown because of prevalent recrystallization, surface rough and pustulose, with thick secondary layer of calcite; aperture terminal on the produced neck, with a broad phialine lip, no toothplate present, intercameral foramina interiomarginal and arched, suggesting that the aperture is terminal only on the final chamber or that earlier necks with terminal apertures were resorbed and foramina secondarily developed. U. Cretaceous to M. Eocene; cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
