Taxonomy

Original description: Linsenförmige turbospirale Schalen. Kammern auf Nabel und Spiralseite stark gewolbt. Spiralseite mit mehreren getrennten Umgangen, Nabelseite mit grossem, weitem Nabel, der unter einer Decke versteckt liegt. Die Decke ist entstanden durch Zusammenschmelzen der Lippen iiber den Umbilicalmiindungen. Der periphare Rand der Schale ist meist mit einem leistenartigen Saum versehen. Die Miindung ist gross und besteht aus einem interiomarginalen Teil, der zu dem umbilikalen direkt iibergeht. Der umbilikale Teil der Miindung liegt unter der Decke, die den Nabel bedeckt. In den Suturen bleibt noch ein Miindungsloch, das nach hinten gerichtet ist, erhalten. Schalen meist rauh.
