Diagnosis Test ovate to nearly circular in outline, flattened, numerous narrow and elongate chambers one-half coil in length added in various planes to form a sigmoid series in the inflated early portion but rapidly becoming planispiral and adult chambers added on opposite sides of the test, chambers with floors; wall calcareous, porcelaneous; aperture terminal, with a short simple tooth. Miocene; Australia. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
