Original Description

Very large, robust; very high sinistral trochospire, loose parallel to axis but very tight perpendicular to axis. Equatorial outline very weakly lobate; lateral outline highly spiroconvex. Chambers ovate parallel to axis, barely appressed, at least 14 in total, 3.75 in final, 3.5 in second-last, in third-last whorls; increase moderate. Dorsal view: chambers much longer concentrically, weakly inflated; sutures deeply but narrowly incised; intercameral sutures radial where present; supplementary apertures on proximal spiral sutures, later ones higher. Ventral view: chambers highly inflated; intercameral sutures radial, meeting at closed umbilicus which is partially covered by final chamber; aperture umbilical, low. Lateral view: smoothly rounded. Wall densely perforate with well-developed interpore ridges.

Size:
Length, 735 µm; width 670 µm; height, 755 µm.

Etymology:
Latin, altus, high; helix, icis (f.), whorl, spiral.
