Diagnosis Test conical, proloculus followed by three or four tiny chambers, then with rapidly enlarging saucerlike rectilinear chambers, septa horizontal, flat; wall of calcite by X-ray analysis, optically radial, finely perforate but with imperforate flat apertural face, surface with low equidistant longitudinal costae, additional ribs intercalated with growth to maintain their constant spacing; aperture consisting of numerous rounded openings on the terminal face at the end of hollow pillars that extend to the previous septum. M. Eocene; USA: Texas, California; Ecuador; Peru. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
