Description Test shortly fusiform, often asymmetrical. Early stage discoidal; later stage more or less fusiform with acute poles. Septa numerous, unfluted in the center but slightly fluted at the poles, especially in the outer whorls. Chomata low, asymmetrical and bordering a broad and low tunnel. Wall bilayered with a tectum and an inner porous layer. Aperture terminal simple.

Diagnosis Test nautiloid, earliest volution may be endothyroid, later planispiral, axis of coiling short in the early stage, sharply increasing in length from the third whorl, so that test becomes subcylindrical, septa plane to weakly fluted; wall undifferentiated or with tectum and primatheca in early whorls, later with keriotheca, chomata may be present. U. Carboniferous (Gzhel'ian) to L. Permian (Asselian). (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
