Taxonomy
Original description: Test medium-sized, highly conical, trochospiral, length exceeds diameter. Coil consists of 3.5-4 whorls. First two whorls many-chambered with 5-6 small, spherical chambers of nearly uniform size, following ones have 3-4 chambers per whorl. Chambers spherical, subspherical in outline, rapidly increase in dimensions, somewhat compressed laterally. Proloculus small, spherical to oval in outline. No uniformity is seen in chamber shape. Sutures depressed, thin. Aperture umbilical, small, arcuate. Surface matte, tuberculate.
