Diagnosis Test small to medium sized, up to 4.5 mm in diameter, lenticular, umbonate, stellate, with four to eight rays that may be elevated as ribs, surface papillose with larger pustules on the umbo, bilocular embryo surrounded by thick wall and two large auxiliary chambers forming a quadriserial juvenarium, equatorial chambers in horizontal section diamond shaped to ogival in plan and increase in height from the center to the test periphery, up to sixteen layers of lateral chambers form distinct tiers on both sides of the equatorial layer, the layers decreasing in number from the umbo toward the periphery, where the equatorial layer is left exposed without lateral chambers, pillars well developed. U. Cretaceous (Campanian to Maastrichtian); USA: Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida; Guatemala; Cuba; central equatorial Pacific (DSDP site 315A).
