Original description: Test with initial small-sized planispiral coil or more often biserial throughout. Chambers reniform increase rapidly in size as added. Sutures distinct, depressed and curced. Test compressed with subangular to angular periphery. No peripheral structures present. Test wall smooth, finely perforated. Scattered pustules can be recorded on the earlier formed chambers, the last formed ones being invariably smooth. Aperture a moderate high arch at the base of the apertural face is bordered by thin flanges.
