Diagnosis Test free, trochospiral, flattened, chambers increasing rapidly in size as added, sutures strongly oblique on spiral side and may be depressed, resulting in a lobulate outline, only four to five chambers visible on umbilical side, the final one occupying much of the umbilical surface and appearing T-shaped because of its pronounced umbilical lobe; wall finely agglutinated, thin and fragile, brown in color, darker in the early whorl, surface smoothly finished; aperture at the end of the umbilical chamber lobe and directed either into the umbilicus or backward toward the earlier chambers, may be partially covered by a shelflike lip. Holocene; Caribbean, E. coast of Trinidad. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
