Diagnosis Test elongate, cuneiform in outline, compressed, sides flat, margins truncate and flaring in the microspheric generation, slowly diverging to subparallel in the megalospheric one, angles carinate, proloculus commonly apiculate, chambers of somewhat greater breadth than height, biserial in arrangement, sutures oblique, flush on the flat sides, slightly indented on the margins; wall calcareous, thin, optically radial, perforate, completely covered with fine pores but with some interspersed larger ones, surface smooth, slightly nodose or with a few short longitudinal ribs in the early stage, secondary calcite encrustation may form a thin veneer or may be localized as domelike mounds around the pores; aperture basal, elliptical, extending up the apertural face, one margin bending inward to form a folded toothplate that extends back to the previous foramen, free part of the toothplate narrow and projecting through the aperture, continuing as a rim bordering the opening. M. Miocene to Holocene; Atlantic; Pacific; Inda-Pacific. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
