Diagnosis Proloculus oval to subspherical, followed by somewhat irregular tubular chamber that may be irregularly and partially divided by incipient septa, commonly alternating first from one side and then the other but rarely if ever entirely crossing the chamber lumen; wall calcareous, dark, and microgranular or questionably double layered with thin dark inner layer and thicker outer gray layer; aperture at the open end of the tube. U. Silurian (Ludlovian, Pridolian) to L. Carboniferous (U. Tournaisian); USSR; USA. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]

Diagnosis Test with oval to somewhat indistinct separated proloculus, with later slightly curved, irregularly tubular chamber of varied diameter; wall calcareous, dark, finely granular, perforate, wall thickness varies somewhat within slight limits. U. Silurian, (Ludlovian), USSR: E. slope of the Urals. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
