Original description: Test wall microperforate with randomly scattered pores averaging 0.8 microns in diameter, surface smooth. Test small, low to rarely moderately low trochospiral, equatorial periphery subrounded, moderately to strongly lobate; weakly biconvex; chambers subglobular, usually reniform in equatorial view and a slightly compressed oval shape in edge view, dextrally or sinistrally coiled in two whorls of from 8 to 11 chambers that increase moderately in size, usually with 4, rarely 3 and up to 5.5 chambers in the final whorl; sutures depressed, radial, straight; umbilicus shallow, moderately wide, averaging 24% of the test diameter; aperture an extraumbilical low arch that extends from the equatorial peripheral margin almost to the umbilicus, bordered by a narrow lip that usually broadens to an imperforate portical flap that may partly cover the umbilicus, with relict portici surrounding the umbilicus.
