Diagnosis Test elongate, fusiform, rounded in section, chambers strongly overlapping, biserially arranged in the early stage, later uniserial, sutures slightly depressed; wall calcareous, smooth; aperture a terminal curved slit with entosolenian tube connecting the aperture to the foramina of earlier chambers. M. Eocene (Lutetian) to Pliocene; Europe. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
