Diagnosis Test stellate in outline, with rays radiating from the center and formed by the equatorial chambers as in Asterocyclina, megalospheric test with ovate proloculus and partly enveloping deuteroloculus, followed by a few whorls of rapidly lengthening equatorial chambers, then with annular chambers subdivided into chamberlets by thin radial septula, those of successive annuli alternating in position, radial walls absent after about five to ten annuli and later cyclic chambers remain undivided, annular stolons present on the distal end of the chambers; annular walls relatively thick, septula when present are thin walled. U. Eocene; Burma; Israel. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
