Diagnosis Test small, subpyramidal, triangular in section with rounded to bicarinate angles, chambers moderately inflated, triserial throughout, early chambers closely appressed, later ones with increased relative height; wall calcareous, perforate, surface smooth to pustulose but may have one or two low longitudinal carinae at the angles; aperture terminal, rounded, bordered by a low collarlike rim and with a narrow internal columellar toothplate. U. Cretaceous (Campanian to Maastrichtian); Europe; North America; USSR; Egypt. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
