Original Description
Small, but not very fragile; low dextral trochospire, tight parallel and perpendicular to axis. Equatorial outline oval prior to reduced final chamber, then circular, moderately lobate; lateral outline compressed, weakly umbilicoconvex. Chambers ovate, closely appressed, about 12 chambers in total, 5! in final whorl; increase moderately quick, regular except reduced last chamber. Dorsal view: chambers slightly longer concentrically, later ones slightly inflated; sutures moderately depressed; intercameral sutures directed anteriorly and smoothly but quickly curved posteriorly at distal end. Ventral view: chambers moderately inflated; intercameral sutures depressed, curved, meet at closed umbilicus. Lateral view: smoothly rounded; aperture interiomarginal, umbilical--extraumbilical, very low, with very thin lip. Wall surface smooth, microperforate?; small, widely spaced pustules, more dense on ventral and dorsal surfaces of earlier chambers.
Size: Length, 95 µm; width, 90 µm; height, 45 µm.
