From editor or global species database
Diagnosis Test enrolled, generally planispiral but rare aberrant specimens may be asymmetrical or even trochoid, lenticular, biumbonate, and commonly with umbonal boss, periphery angled to carinate, relatively broad and low chambers increase slowly in size as added or final one or two may tend to flare or uncoil, sutures straight to curved, radial to oblique, may be limbate, flush, or elevated and nodose,; wall calcareous, hyaline, perforate radial, secondarily lamellar, surface smooth other than the sutural nodes or elevations and peripheral keel; aperture radiate or slitlike at the peripheral angle, may be slightly produced. Triassic to Holocene; cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]Unreviewed
