Diagnosis Test elongate ovate to subcylindrical, chambers triserially arranged, but later ones may be nearly centered as if tending to become uniserial, septa distinct, depressed; wall calcareous, finely to coarsely perforate, optically radial, surface smooth, but lower margin of chambers may be carinate, fimbriate, or spinose; aperture a loop extending up the face from the base of the last chamber, a free border having an elevated rim, and a fixed border continuous with an internal folded toothplate that attaches to the inside chamber wall below the aperture, and has a smooth to dentate, flaring to enrolled and almost tubular free shank. Paleocene to Holocene; cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
