Diagnosis Test planoconvex, enrolled in a low trochospiral, sutures curved backward on the spiral side, more nearly radial on the opposite and umbilicate side; wall agglutinated, canaliculate; aperture umbilical in position, with a large valvuline tooth that in advanced forms becomes a distinctive umbilical flap or may be replaced by a convex trematophore plate. Eocene to Oligocene, ?Miocene. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
