Diagnosis Test attached and tubiform, proloculus surrounded by enrolled undivided tubular chamber, megalospheric test with less than one whorl and microspheric one with up to three whorls, tube then bends abruptly to grow away from the juvenarium, variously wandering across the substrate or doubling back or crossing earlier parts of the tube; wall calcareous, porcelaneous, surface of the juvenarium smooth, in the adult with deep closely spaced fine pits, thus differing from the otherwise similar Apterrinella that has a papillate or spinulate surface. L. Permian; Texas. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
