Taxonomy
Original description: "Test lobate, trochospiral; extremely planiform, often concave spirally; planiform umbilically; peripherally truncated by a wide double keel; rims of double keel either not strongly beaded or beadless. Test comprised of 2.5 to 3 whorls of chambers which gradually expand in size; 7-8 chambers in final whorl. Chambers crescent-shaped spirally, separated by raised, curved, slightly beaded or beadless sutures; chambers subrectangular umbilically, separated by slightly curved, raised, beadless or slightly beaded sutures. Umbilicus broad, bordered by mildly elevated umbilical shoulder. Primary aperture interiomarginal, extraumbilical-umbilical in position, a lowly arched opening. Outer wall except for double keel radial hyaline, perforate; double keel radial hyaline, imperforate. Septal walls microgranular hyaline, sparsely perforate."
