Description Diagnosis: Test subcylindrical, tapering, probably endofaunal, with pseudosepta, without really individualized aperture nor proloculus. Wall dark, thin microgranular.
Occurrence: Late Silurian-Serpukhovian; Palaeotethys and Urals Provinces (see detailed distribution in Vachard, 1994a, p. 42). Misinterpreted in the Late Triassic (Salaj et al., 1983, pl. 32, fig. 1) where it designates probably the uncoiled part of a Miliolata.

Diagnosis Test tiny, elongate, with oval proloculus followed by undivided straight to arcuate tube of up to 0.09 mm in diameter, incipient septa partially dividing the tube but rarely completely crossing the inner cavity; wall calcareous, microgranular, dark gray in color; aperture at the open end of the tube.
