Diagnosis Test large, up to nearly 14 mm in length, elongate fusiform, large spherical proloculus followed by juvenarium of two to three tightly coiled whorls, then an abrupt expansion to the final two or three loosely coiled whorls, septa intensely and irregularly fluted throughout test length with folds extending to the top of the septa, opposed folds of adjacent septa fuse at contact, dividing the lower part of the chambers into small rounded chamberlets, but do not form cuniculi, phrenothecae well developed; wall of tectum and coarsely alveolar keriotheca, tunnel low, ranging from narrow to wide, weak chomata present only on the proloculus, axial fillings present and may be prominent, filling the axial extremities of the tightly coiled juvenarium, absent from the early expanded whorls but again developed in the polar region of the final whorls. L. Permian (Sakmarian), U. Wolfcampian; USA: California. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
