Original description: Diagnosis: Test low trochospiral, slightly convex on spiral side, slightly concave on umbilical side; periphery lobate; chambers petaloid on spiral side, sectorial on umbilical side; final whorl consisting of 4'/.-5 whorls; spiral sutures depressed; umbilical sutures radial, depressed
Description: Test trochospiral, slightly convex spiral side. flat or even slightly concave umbilical side. consisting of 2 whorls: periphery strongly lobate, truncated by distinct, closely spaced double keel; chambers petaloid, slightly inflated on spiral side; trapezoidal, flattened to weakly inflated on umbilical side; final whorl consisting of 4 1/ 2 chambers increasing sharply as added; spiral sutures curved, depressed in peripheral part, raised by keel coinciding with sutures in internal part; umbilical sutures radial, depressed; wall finely papillate; umbilicus narrow, rather deep; primary aperture extra umbilical-umbilical; portici with infralaminal accessory apertures.
