Diagnosis Test tiny, subglobular to ellipsoidal, loosely streptospirally enrolled throughout, large globular proloculus followed by rapidly enlarging whorls, septa nearly flat in the center of the whorl, progressively more fluted toward the poles; wall thin, of uniform thickness throughout, consisting of tectum, diaphanotheca, and upper and lower tectoria, chomata dense, well developed, and symmetrical to slightly asymmetrical, tunnel path irregular because of the streptospiral coiling. U. Carboniferous (L. Moscovian to L. Stephanian); USA: Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
