Diagnosis Test free, trochospiral, with few gradually enlarging chambers per whorl, umbilicus covered by a flap from each successive chamber, that of the final chamber obscuring those of previous chambers; wall of proloculus proteinaceous without foreign particles, wall of later chambers agglutinated; aperture a low interiomarginal arch in the final septal face, continuing as a low slit around the entire free border of the umbilical flap. Holocene; Antarctic. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]Unreviewed
Habitat Known from seamounts and knolls [details]
