Diagnosis Test ovate in outline, biconvex, low trochospiral coil, three to six slightly elongated chambers in the final whorl, sutures curved back at the periphery on the spiral side, nearly radial around the open umbilicus of the umbilical side, slightly depressed, periphery rounded; wall calcareous, optically granular, finely perforate, surface smooth; aperture interiomarginal and umbilical, a low opening covered by a large rounded to triangular lip, with internal toothplate consisting of a partition attached to the previous umbilical flap at an angle to the septal foramen and forming a crest on the inside of the apertural lip. U: Cretaceous (Coniacian) to Holocene; cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
