Diagnosis Test elongate, tapering to the base, early chambers biserially arranged, later chambers cuneate and tend to become uniserial, slightly compressed, sutures slightly depressed, strongly oblique; wall calcareous, hyaline, finely perforate, surface ornamented by low longitudinal costae that may be continuous from chamber to chamber, costae dying out and may be lacking on the final one or two chambers; aperture subterminal, eccentric, lower margin forming a projecting lip, upper margin an overhanging hoodlike projection of the chamber, an internal tube connecting the aperture with the preceding foramen. Pliocene; Southwest Atlantic. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
