Original Description

Test small, with a round equatorial outljne and an egg-shaped axial one, formed by a high spire consisting of three whorls rapidly increasing in height. In the last whorl are 4½ to 5 narrow. high, convex chambers, closely adjoined. The last chamber is more convex and rises above the remaining ones, overhanging the umbilical region. Sutures depressed, septal sutures on the spiral side weakly curved in the early part of the last whorl, between the later chambers straight. Peripheral margin undulate, broadly rounded. Umbilicus narrow. Aperture slit-shaped, opens onto the umbilicus. Test wall finely perforate, thinly spinose. Spinosity more distinct on the umbilical side.

Size:
Greater diameter 0.25 mm., lesser diameter 0.24 mm., height 0.3 mm.

Extra details from original publication

Variation. - The degree of inflation of the last chamber, which in some specimens is slightly flattened out along the axis of growth, varies. (We consider the growth axis of spirally coiled forammifera to be the spiral line crossing the septa at midpoint perpendicularly to their surfaces.)

Comparison. - This species differs from Acarinina spiralis (Bolli) by its higher spire and the distinct spinosity of the wall on both sides of the test; from Acarinina aquiensis (Loeblich and Tappan) by the greater number of chambers in the umbilicus and the less coarse spinosity of the umbilical ends of the chambers.
