Original Description Test small to medium; chambers globular, initially trochospiral, then streptospiral; periphery rounded, peripheral outline lobulate to subcircular; sutures distinct; surface cancellate with regular subhexagonal pore pits separated by interpore ridges; large, sometimes massive cylindrical spines irregularly distributed on the surface; aperture interiomarginal with or without apertural rim or lip, may be provided with sutural secondary openings. Size: Etymology: arbitrary name, feminine gendre. Extra details from original publication Remarks: The primary aperture is covered by a large, well-developed chamber (bulla) with smooth, porulate surface, but preserving the most distinctive feature of the test, the long spines. Differs from Polyperibola Liska, 1980 by its cancellate surface and the presence of spines. Editors' Notes
