Current identification:
Diagnosis: Directional lineage with peripheral structures consisting of one imperforate peripheral bordered by two rows of isolated or fused pustules and the aperture bordered by one wide perforate, more rarely imperforate tegillum. Description: Test low to medium high trochospiral; chambers are globular subglobular in the IS and dorso–ventrally compressed in FDS. Sutures are depressed throughout in the IS and raised and curved on the spiral side in FDS. Test shape is asymmetrical, with convex spiral side and concave umbilical side; periphery is broadly rounded in the IS and truncated in the FDS. Peripheral structures occur on all the chambers of the final whorl and consist of one imperforate band bordered by isolated dome–like pustules that occasionally fuse to form rugosities or weak keels; the two rows of pustules are more prominent over the earlier chambers of the final whorl. Aperture is a medium high arch in umbilical position and is bordered by a wide perforate tegillum. Chamber surface is ornamented with scattered pustules, which can fuse to form rugosities or larger irregular ornamentation structures; ornamentation is more prominent on the earlier test chambers.
