Original description: Test generally in the 100–150 μm range, trochospiral, low spired. Final whorl large and often almost flat with 3.5–4 petaloide and ovate chambers, rarely finger-like; chamber periphery may become narrow and even pseudo-keeled, but us not imperforate. In larger specimens, individual chambers in the last whorl may slightly twist from the coiling axis; sutures strongly incised; umbilicus narrow or closed; aperture a narrow slit with rim at base of last chamber in umbilical position. A small and incomplete (half) bulla may be rarely present, shielding the aperture. Wall microperforate and densely pustulose, with pustules fusing to form irregular ridges.
