Diagnosis Test enrolled, planispiral to slightly asymmetrical, large flattened and commonly slightly undulating discoid microspheric tests, early stage close coiled, later flaring, spreading, and peneropline to reniform or circular in outline, chambers broad, low, strongly arcuate in the early stage, later may become completely cyclic, periphery rounded to subacute; wall microgranular to finely agglutinated or may include occasional large grains or tests of smaller foraminifers, imperforate outer layer underlain by a reticulate choffatelloid subepidermal network of rafters and beams, the narrow chambers not subdivided inward from the reticulate zone but leave a narrow open canal into which the septal apertures open, chambers near the median plane occupied by an irregular labyrinthic structure produced by radial pillars or buttresses arising between adjacent apertural passages, and extending from septum to septum, buttresses of successive chambers radially aligned; aperture cribrate, scattered over the apertural face. U. Jurassic (L. Kimmeridgian) to L. Cretaceous (L. Valanginian); Spain; Portugal; France; Switzerland; Yugoslavia; Algeria; Morocco; Turkey; Atlantic: Cape Verde Islands; USA: North Carolina; Cuba.
