Diagnosis Test conical, small, up to about 0.7 mm in diameter and to 0.5 mm in height of cone, dorsal side flat to slightly umbonate, conical ventral side with flat sides and pointed apex, subspherical protoconch followed by a simple trochospiral coil of gradually enlarging chambers that each have a single basal aperture or stolon, flanks of the conical ventral side covered by layers of large polygonal thickwalled lateral chambers, a few lateral chambers may occur on the spiral dorsal side producing a slight umbonal thickening, single axial spine of calcite protrudes at the test apex, periphery at base of cone with well-developed, narrow, and deeply incised sulcus that may have some short radial plates. U. Cretaceous (U. Campanian or L. Maastrichtian); Cuba. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
