Taxonomy
Original description: Shape of test. - Early stage possibly very slightly trochospiral (usually not recognizable), later becoming planispiral, strongly stellate. Wall. - Calcareous, finely perforate. Chambers. - Early chambers globular to subglobular; the four and a half to five chambers in the last whorl very strongly elongated, each with a bulb-shaped end (very often broken off). Sutures. - Radial, depressed. Aperture. - An interiomarginal, equatorial arch, bordered by a lip; in position often slightly asymmetrical to the equatorial plane.
