Diagnosis Small, high conical test, megalospheric proloculus eccentric and not apical in position, followed by hemispherical deuteroconch and a few almost planispirally coiled chambers, later rectilinear, base of cone convex in early stage, flattened in later stage, microspheric form not adequately known; wall thick, but lacking complex structure, simple exoskeleton of radial beams of approximately same thickness as outer wall, rarely with secondary beams and completely lacking any horizontal chamber subdivisions or rafters; endoskeleton pillars appear later in growth and are circular in section near the chamber floor, becoming semicircular in section near the chamber roof; aperture consists of a few relatively large pores on the final septum. L. Eocene; Pakistan; Somalia. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
