Test free; chambers inflated, biserially arranged throughout or planispiral in early stage and biserial in adult stage, tapering into distinct spines.

Remarks. Grimsdaleinella, n.gen. differs from Chiloguembelina Loeblich & Tappan in possessing chambers with distinct, tapering spines. Grimsdaleinella does not have the apertural necklike extension which is typical for Chiloguembelina. It differs from Heterohelix Ehrenberg in having its chambers tapering into distinct spines.
