Diagnosis Test elongate, fusiform, up to nearly 6 mm in length, globular to ovoid proloculus followed by about nine to ten tightly coiled volutions, axis of coiling straight, the numerous septa per whorl straight in the central area of the test but may be slightly fluted toward the extremities, those of earlier whorls commonly obscured by the heavy axial deposits; wall four layered, of tectum, thick diaphanotheca, and thin inner and outer tectoria, perforations penetrate all layers, narrow tunnel of regular to very irregular path, bordered by asymmetrical chomata that may be low or up to two-thirds the chamber height and commonly extend laterally into the axial fillings; septal pores present in the outer whorls.
