Diagnosis Test spherical, early stage with up to fifteen globular and trochospirally arranged chambers, four to five per whorl, those of first whorl slightly compressed, final chamber spherical and enveloping, early trochospiral stage may be completely free within the spherical chamber but is held in place by long spines that perforate the outer chamber wall; wall calcareous, perforate, with two pore classes, the more numerous smaller ones interspersed among the fewer considerably larger pores, earliest whorl nonspinose and without sutural apertures, later chambers and adult test with long monocrystalline spines arising from a terraced base, spines proximally circular in section, distally becoming triangular and finally triradiate, the triradiate spines being far more common on the test, spines from enclosed earlier chambers that penetrate the outer wall lack the terraced base at the outer surface, wall of earlier chambers very thin and delicate and may be resorbed in later growth, perhaps in relation to the reproductive cycle, the dissolution proceeding first along the sutures and earliest chambers; primary aperture in the young stage interiomarginal, umbilical, with irregular imperforate bordering lip, final chamber with sutural supplementary openings, the larger series of pores possibly also representing an areal aperture. Base of M. Miocene (Serravallian) to Holocene; cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
