Original Description

Test consisting of two unequal portions, the early portion consisting of several pairs of globular chambers arranged as in Guembelina, the adult stage uniserial, formed usually by three subglobular or slightly pyriform chambers, slightly overlapping, the apertural end extended out into a tapering neck; sutures distinct, depressed; wall smooth, translucent, very finely perforate; aperture circular, at the end of the tubular neck.

Size:
Length 0.25-0.35 mm; breadth 0.08-0.10 mm; thickness 0.05-0.07 mm.

Extra details from original publication
This is a somewhat larger species than the following, holds the Gümbelina stage much longer, and has distinctly fewer chambers in the uniserial portion.
