Diagnosis Test free, small, lenticular to discoidal, enrolled, early chambers streptospirally coiled, later nearly planispiral, with six to eleven chambers in the final whorl, septa long, strongly oblique to the periphery; wall calcareous, microcrystalline, dark, with minor basal secondary deposits but without chomata, hooks, or other projections; aperture a low slit at the base of the apertural face. L. Carboniferous (Tournaisian to Namurian); cosmopolitan in northern hemisphere: Europe; Asia; North America. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
