Diagnosis Test elongate fusiform, twisted in appearance, subtriangular in section, chambers onehalf coil in length, with planes of coiling changing to give a sigmoiline appearance in section, later chambers added in a single plane, three to four visible from each side, chambers with floors, widest at the base and tapering through the middle and later part, terminally produced as a long neck; wall calcareous, imperforate, porcelaneous, surface smooth, or with a few low longitudinal costae; aperture rounded, at the end of the produced neck, bordered by a distinctly thickened rim, and with a short bifid tooth. Holocene; China: Xisha Islands. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
