Diagnosis Test large, up to l.5 mm in length, ovate proloculus followed by slightly coiled subglobular chambers, attached in the early stage, with the attachment serving as a basal wall, later uncoiled and rectilinear, growing free of the attachment and with wall completely developed; wall of agglutinated quartz and calcareous grains on a chitinous base; aperture rounded, terminal, in the later uncoiled chambers occurring at the end of a distinct tubular neck.
