Original description: Test transparent, calcareous, smooth, strongly compressed, elongate-rounded on the wide side and more or less lobate. Five to six arched chambers surround the first central chamber, which appears five or size-sided, dark, and of variable size. The last and, at times, the second last chambers are often distinctly inflated producing deep incisions between the chambers. Aperture is not visible. Structure is equally equal-sided.

Entries in the Catalog of original descriptions: Nonionina escheri, Globigerinella aissana, Hastigerina aspera digitata, Planomalina mendezensis, Globigerinelloides praevolutus


Emended description:

Georgescu & Huber, 2008, p.57:"Test planispirally coiled, biumbilicate, with 4.5 to 6.0 globular to subglobular chambers in the final whorl; chambers increase slowly in size as added. Sutures are straight, depressed and radial. Periphery broadly rounded, without peripheral structures. Primary aperture is a low arch, equatorial in position, extending into the umbilical areas. Relict apertures may be present in the umbilicus. Scattered pustules are present on all the chambers of the test. Test wall calcitic, hyaline, microperforate to finely perforate; pore diameters are in the range of 0.8 to 1.3 microns." [copied from Chronos database]
