Diagnosis Test free, elongate fusiform to subcylindrical, tapering to the aperture; wall thick, fine grained but containing some transversely aligned larger grains or tests of smaller foraminifers, inner organic lining may protrude from the aperture as dendritic branches, and may also project from a second opening at the base where it similarly is much divided into a rhizome-like structure that may serve for attachment to the substrate; aperture terminal but may have an opening at each end. Holocene; cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]Unreviewed
