Original Description

Moderately large, robust; low dextral trochospire, very tight. Equatorial outline circular, virtually nonlobate; lateral outline biconvex, umbilical side more convex. Chambers angular-truncate, very closely appressed, about 17 in total, 7 in final whorl; increase very slow. Dorsal view: chambers slightly longer concentrically, flat; sutures flush; intercameral sutures directed anteriorly or radially, recurved posteriorly halfway to periphery; spiral suture of last-I! whorls and last-3 intercameral sutures strongly limbate and thus raised. Ventral view: chambers moderately inflated; intercameral sutures radial then curved posteriorly at distal end, nearly meet at moderately open umbilicus. Lateral view: periphery keeled, thick in early chambers of final whorl; dorsal face slightly convex; ventral face slightly concave; umbilical shoulder smoothly rounded; aperture an umbilical--extraumbilical interiomarginal low slit with thick lip. Wall densely and finely perforate, pustulose near aperture.

Size:
Length, 300 µm; width, 275 µm; height, 150 µm.
