Diagnosis Test elongate, many broad low chambers in a high trochospiral coil, sutures strongly oblique to the axis of coiling, chamber interior subdivided by exoskeletal partitions that may extend partly or entirely from chamber floor to roof but without the horizontal secondary partitions present in Kurnubia; wall calcareous, imperforate, microgranular; aperture a low interiomarginal arch covered by a finely porous apertural plate, the space between the apertural face and the apertural plate being filled by a honeycomblike structure, apertural plate apparently secondarily resorbed as new chambers are added, leaving the low arched openings connecting successive chambers in the test interior. M. Jurassic (Bathonian or Callovian); Saudia Arabia; Crete. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
