Diagnosis Test spherical, early globular to ovate chambers in a trochospiral coil, chambers enlarging rapidly as added, three to four per whorl, much enlarged final chamber turned to the umbilical side and embracing the early whorls, sutures flush to depressed; wall calcareous, coarsely perforate and appearing coarsely cancellate because of the deep pore pits; primary aperture in early stage is a large semicircular interiomarginal umbilical opening, apertures of the trochospiral chambers covered by the final enveloping chamber that has only small crescentic and slitlike sutural supplementary openings. Upper L. Miocene (U. Langhian) to lower M. Miocene (L. Serravallian); tropical to temperate, cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
