Diagnosis Test trochospiral, biconvex, spiral side evolute, umbilical side involute, umbilicus covered by extension from final chamber, numerous low chambers increasing gradually in breadth, sutures radial, gently curved to nearly straight, slightly depressed, periphery broadly rounded; wall calcareous, coarsely perforate; primary aperture interiomarginal on the umbilical side, a slit midway between the periphery and the umbilicus, a supplementary curved, slitlike oblique areal opening situated in the apertural face, and sutural openings present between the retral processes on both spiral and umbilical sides. U. Eocene (Priabonian); USA: Georgia. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
