Diagnosis Test palmate in outline, lenticular in section, early stage with a small planispiral coil, the chambers rapidly flaring and uncoiling, later stage with numerous broad, low and arched U-shaped uniserial chambers, strongly overlapping earlier chambers both at the lateral margins and on the flattened sides of the test, to result in the axial thickening and lenticular section, septa thickened near the central aperture; wall agglutinated, imperforate; aperture terminal, single, elliptical to rounded.
