Diagnosis Test subglobular, small, up to about 1 mm in diameter, globular megalospheric proloculus followed by flexostyle, early coiling irregular with one or two streptospiral volutions, then planispiral with few whorls that expand rather rapidly in height, early whorls with more than three chambers each that increase moderately in number per whorl with growth, septa oblique, sloping backward to the periphery, chambers subdivided by vertical septula aligned from chamber to chamber, preseptal space present; wall relatively thick, aperture a single row of keyhole-shaped openings in a groove near the base of the apertural face, each opening rounded near its base and tapering toward the upper part. L. Cretaceous (Aptian: Gargasian); Spain; Italy; Algeria. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
