Original description: Test trochospiral, strongly spiroconvex, early whorls offset in a higher plane than ultimate whorl; peripheral margin subcircular, lobate; 5-6 chambers in the final whorl spherical to subspherical, in apertural and abapertural views slightly elongate axially, ultimate chamber slightly offset umbilically; initial chambers on spiral side increasing rapidly in size as added, chambers of final whorl increasing only slightly in size; sutures radial, curved, strongly, depressed; chambers of ultimate whorl heavily rugose, rugosities or costellae closely spaced, aligned in a meridional pattern, ultimate chamber generally more finely rugose; wall finely perforate; umbilicus large, subrectangular, deep; primary aperture interiomarginal, umbilical; spiral system of tegilla with intralaminal and infralaminal accessory apertures poorly preserved in specimens examined.
