Diagnosis Test almost planispiral but slightly asymmetrical and tending to coil dextrally, partially evolute, chambers enlarging rapidly and test somewhat flared, internal partition inverted V shape, folding around the apertural opening, oblique and attached to the inside of the apertural face on the margin toward the umbilical side, opposite free margin extending inward from the aperture where both parts attach to the previous septum below the septal foramen and diverge toward the side walls of the test, partitions of earlier chambers partially resorbed with growth, sutures nearly radial, slightly curved, depressed, periphery rounded; wall calcareous, aragonitic, finely perforate, optically radial, surface smooth; aperture a small oblique oval areal opening in the chamber face, and an interiomarginal equatorial slit at the base of the chamber, interiomarginal opening closed as new chamber is added and areal opening enlarged as an intercameral foramen. Pliocene to Holocene; Europe; North America; China: Shandong Province; Pacific. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
