Diagnosis Test irregularly globular, from 0.7 mm to 3.6 mm in diameter, early stage consists of proloculus and flexostyle, followed by a few chambers in quinqueloculine arrangement, postembryonic chambers numerous, small, irregular, tubular, and without distinct arrangement or layers, although added around the test to produce a roughly globular form; wall calcareous, porcelaneous, embryonic stage thin walled, earliest postquinqueloculine chambers with wall about twice as thick, walls of each chamber complete, hence their contact appears to be double walled; early chambers probably with a single aperture, later ones possibly with several rounded openings at the ends of branches. L. Cretaceous (Berriasian); France, Switzerland. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
