Diagnosis Test elongate, robust, early stage triserial, later uniserial, with horizontal sutures arched between adjacent costae; wall calcareous, perforate, surface with eight to twelve continuous, broad, and platelike longitudinal costae; aperture terminal, rounded, may be on a short neck, and bordered with a narrow lip, provided internally with siphonlike toothplate. U. Oligocene to U. Miocene; Western Hemisphere. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
