Diagnosis Test asymmetrical, with large protoconch and trochoid early spire and a thin conical equatorial layer of arcuate chambers that become hexagonal toward the periphery, a thick protruding central pillar originates at the protoconch and widens rapidly within the cone to the exterior, lateral chambers immediately adjacent to the pillar are considerably larger than others and appear to be spirally enrolled. U. Cretaceous (Santonian to Maastrichtian). (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
