Original description: Translated from French (Chronos translation). "Trochospiral test, ventrally involute, dorsally evolute (two whorls showing), of a small size (diameter 0.20 to 0.30mm), fairly compressed, with a lobate outline, 4 to 4.5 chambers (mostly 4) in the last whorl; the chambers are globular, with a fair increase in height as added. Spiral side most of the time flat, sometimes more or less convex, as a result of a raising (never very marked) of the trochospire. Ventral side without umbilicus. Aperture, ventral, umbilical-extraumbilical, reaching the periphery, bordered by a short lip."

Test trochospiralé, involute ventralement, évolute dorsalement (deux tours d' enroulement visibles ), de petite taille (diamètre de l'ordre de 0, 20 à 0,30 mm), modérément comprimé, au contour lobé, avec 4 à 4, 5 loges (le plus souvent 4) au dernier tour; les loges sont globuleuses, avec un accroissement en hauteur assez rapide à mesure qu'elles s'ajoutent. Face dorsale 1e plus souvent plane, parfois plus ou moins bombée, par suite d'un décollement (jamais très prononcé) de la trochospire, Face ventrale non ombiliquée. Ouverture ventrale, ombilicale-extraombilicale, atteignant la périphérie, bordée d'une courte lèvre .

Emended description:

Test small to medium, coiled on a flat to weakly convex trochospire; 2 to 2.5 whorls; 4 to occasionally 4.5 chambers in the outer whorl increasing slowly to rather rapidly in size as added; chambers globular to subglobular, possibly becoming slightly reniform in lateral view; equatorial periphery cross-shaped, slightly to strongly lobate; sutures depressed, radial mainly straight; umbilical area, when present, small and shallow; aperture as a low to medium arch bordered by a lip. Wall smooth, finely perforate, that may be covered by perforation cones in the early chambers of the last whorl. [copied from Chronos database]
