Diagnosis Test a straight unbranched elongate tube, open at both ends, nonseptate but may have slight annular constrictions resulting from periodic growth; growth generally occurs only at one end of the tube from which pseudopodia protrude, opposite end packed with waste and food debris and periodically sealed off from the remainder of the test by production of a discoid plug, such filled sections eventually are detached and discarded; wall agglutinated, thick, of sponge spicules, sand grains, and other foreign particles; aperture at the open end of the tube; cytoplasmic movement sluggish; multinucleate. U. Triassic (Carnian) to Holocene; cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]

Grammatical gender ICZN specifies: "30.1.2. a genus-group name that is or ends in a Greek word transliterated into Latin without other changes takes the gender given for that word in standard Greek dictionaries."
σίφων is masculine in Greek.
Sars (1872) gave also a type species B. filiformis indicating a masculine gender (or feminine, rather unlikely).
