Diagnosis Test uniserial, short and stout, circular in section, with strongly overlapping chambers, sutures straight and horizontal, may be slightly depressed; wall calcareous, finely perforate, radial in structure, surface smooth or may have a low longitudinal keel in the same plane as the aperture; aperture terminal, an elongate narrow straight or slightly curved slit, bordered by distinctly projecting lips that extend laterally into the marginal keel. U. Oligocene to Miocene; Caribbean: Trinidad; Dominican Republic; Germany. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
