Diagnosis Test subellipsoidal, periphery broadly rounded, about six gradually enlarging volutions in the adult, early ones involute and final one or two evolute about the depressed axial region, septa thin; wall relatively thick but commonly recrystallized so that structure is unclear, diaphanotheca present in at least the outer volutions, low and highly asymmetrical chomata with steep sides border the low and narrow tunnel. U. Carboniferous (Moscovian) to L. Permian; Japan; Viet Nam. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
