Diagnosis Test elongate, triserial at the conical base, later biserial with nearly parallel sides, chambers strongly overlapping, sutures horizontal, narrow outer region of chambers undivided, forming the "marginal trough" of Henson, remainder of test interior filled from a very early stage of growth by numerous interseptal pillars of somewhat irregular thickness, oriented perpendicular to the surface of the apertural face; wall agglutinated, outer wall very thin, lateral wall and that covering the marginal trough simple, but remainder of the convex apertural face or "central shield" of Henson pierced by many circular apertural pores, some of the pores of all chambers of the final whorl remaining open. L. to M. Cretaceous; Arabia: Qatar Peninsula; Iran; Palestine. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
