Taxonomy
Original description: Test highly trochospiral; chamber form variable, mostly polygonal in outline; single-keeled throughout; keel present on all chambers (except the earliest ones), distally dichotomic with dorsoseptal and ventro-septal as well as periumbilical extensions; spine-shaped extensions of the chambers present in some forms; cameral aperture umbilical, single; labial aperture pointing strongly backwards, in reflexed position opening into the umbilical cavity or suprasuturally towards the periphery; lips much longer on the distal side than on the proximal one, extremely highly arched, much narrower at the junction with the corresponding chamber and trumpet-shaped, overriding each other or fusing the strongly recurving distal ends and forming an umbilical cover-plate covering entirely the umbilical cavity with labial apertures opening towards the periphery; umbilicus large, partly or entirely covered by the apertural lips.

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Globotruncanidae): Test trochospiral, chambers angular, periphery truncate or carinate; primary aperture umbilical, covered by a spiral system of tegilla that is provided with accessory intralaminal and infralaminal apertures.
This taxon: Test trochospiral, biconvex, chambers rhomboidal in section, sutures elevated, oblique or radial, straight or curved on the spiral side, depressed or elevated on the umbilical side, periphery with a beaded single keel that is continuous with the sutures on the spiral side, peripheral outline subcircular, polygonal, or lobate; wall calcareous, finely perforate, smooth except for the beaded sutures and peripheral keel and a concentric row of pustules near the umbilicus on the umbilical side; primary aperture interiomarginal, umbilical to slightly extraumbilical, successive apertures covered by portici that may remain free or may coalesce in the umbilicus to leave proximal accessory apertures.
