Diagnosis Test free, early stage planispirally enrolled, later may uncoil; wall finely agglutinated, that of septa and apertural face homogeneous and solid, outer wall with an imperforate epidermis and inner part with cylindrical pseudoalveoles that do not completely reach either the inner or outer surface but are visible in thin section, appearing almost keriothecal; aperture areal, a simple arch to slit or may be multiple. Jurassic (Callovian to Oxfordian) to U. Cretaceous (Maastrichtian). (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
