Diagnosis Test planispirally enrolled in early stage, later uncoiled and rectilinear; wall thick, agglutinated, microgranular and homogeneous, perforate, with narrow pores or tubules perpendicular to the surface separated by thin microgranular lamellae, resulting in a keriothecalike structure, septa homogeneous and massive, endoskeletal interseptal pillars in the midregion of the chambers may fuse together to form partitions and are surrounded by a pillar-free marginal zone, very thin dark lines crossing the chambers approximately perpendicular to the septa appear to be phrenothecalike structures, commonly microgranular but may be perforate or even double walled; aperture a single areal opening in the early 'stage, later becoming cribrate. L. Jurassic (M. Lias); Yugoslavia: Croatia. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
