Description Description: Test attached, bilocular. The spherical proloculus is followed by an undivided tubular chamber, first coiled and then uncoiled and undulating. Wall porcelaneous, thick. Aperture at the end of the tubular chamber.
Occurrence: Bashkirian to Anisian; ?Ladinian (acme in Late Pennsylvanian-early Cisuralian); cosmopolitan (at least from Bashkirian to Midian).
(Lucas et al. (2016)). [details]

Diagnosis Test attached, elongate, and may exceed 1 mm in length, globular proloculus encircled by elongate, undivided tubular second chamber that is planispirally enrolled for up to three or four whorls, then uncoils in zigzag bends that commonly overlap the early part of the test so that it can only be seen from the attached side; wall calcareous, imperforate, porcelaneous, surface rough; aperture at the open end of the tubular chamber. U. Carboniferous (Stephanian), Virgilian; USA: Texas; Romania; Bulgaria. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
