Original description Diagnosis. Shell moderately large to large with a short-fusiform to subcylindrical shape. The proloculus is spherical and medium to large. Coiling is fairly loose. The spirotheca is very thick and the septa are thin and intensely fluted throughout the length. Septa are thickened in the inner whorls and on both sides of the tunnel. Axial filling is lacking or poorly developed. Cuniculi occur throughout, except for the inner-most volution.
Distribution. North Afghanistan, north Pamir, south China, Laos, Thailand, Japan (from Type species).
Age. Late Permian, late Murgabian to Midian (from Type species).
(Leven in Leven et al. (1997)).
