Original description: Test nearly twice as long as broad, tapering, throughout, much compressed, early portion with the periphery entire and slightly keeled, later moderatly indented; chambers in the microspheric form mostly slightly broader than high, in the megalospheric form with the later chambers with the height often as great or greater than the breadth, later ones more inflated but somewhat compressed throughout; sutures in the early portion slightly limbate, in the adult depressed; wall in the early portion coarsely punctulate, somewhat roughened, in the adult smooth and polished; aperture higher than broad, arched with a slight lip and flanges at the sides extending onto the preceding chamber.
