Diagnosis Test lenticular to discoidal, planispirally coiled and involute, with rapidly enlarging whorls of numerous strongly curved chambers that increase rapidly in height but very slowly in width, earliest one or two coiled chambers may be undivided but later ones have numerous complete secondary septa as in Heterostegina, lateral chamberlets formed by backward folding of the entire proximal primary lateral wall and alar prolongations, details of canal system not known, Y-shaped supplementary stolons occur in the median plane and where the fold of the septal flap touches the inner apertural wall, lateral pillars perpendicular to the surface; wall calcareous, finely perforate, spiral wall thick, surface may be pustulose in the umbonal region. U. Eocene to L. Miocene; Europe; Africa; West Indies; Borneo; Saipan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
