Diagnosis Test planispiral and involute, laterally compressed, bilaterally symmetrical, may be umbilicate, chambers relatively numerous, enlarging gradually, each with a rhomboidal to triangular plate extending from the umbilicus along the intercameral suture at the back of the chamber, earlier chambers may have narrower tubular plates as in Pacinonion, the sutural plates attached along the forward margin but open proximally, successive plates may partly fuse in the umbilical region, periphery rounded; wall calcareous, thin, optically granular, hyaline, finely and densely perforate, surface smooth; aperture a low interiomarginal, equatorial slit, bordered with a lip and extending laterally to the umbilici. M. Eocene to Holocene; cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
