Original Description
Test wall microperforate, pores randomly
scattered and averaging 0.9 mm in diameter, wall surface
smooth. Test small, very low trochospiral, equatorial
periphery rounded, weakly lobate in equatorial outline;
chambers subglobular, increasing slowly in size, ultimate:
penultimate chamber ratio averaging 1.05, dextrally or
sinistrally coiled in 2 whorls with 6.5 to 7 chambers in the
final whorl; sutures moderately depressed in last several
chambers, weakly depressed to flush on earlier chambers,
radial on umbilical and spiral sides; umbilicus shallow,
comprising 26 to 30% of the test diameter; aperture an
extraumbilical low arch that extends from near the
equatorial peripheral margin nearly to the umbilicus,
bordered by a narrow lip, with relict apertural lips
surrounding the umbilicus.
