Diagnosis Test with rapidly enlarging globular chambers in a low trochospiral coil, few per whorl, about three to four in the final whorl, periphery broadly rounded; wall calcareous, perforate, early stage as in Globoturborotalita, adult with a heavy, smooth, and shiny cortex, as in Sphaeroidinella, that obscures some pores and reduces the pore diameter of others; aperture interiomarginal, umbilical, without supplementary sutural apertures. L. Miocene (Langhian) to L. Pliocene (Piacenzian); cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
