Original description: The general outline of the only slightly compressed and not very lobulate test is ellipsoid. The semi-involute last volution comprises 6 to 7 appressed chambers which are subglobular at first then become distinctly laterally compressed. The chambers increase gradually in size, and the end chamber usually is considerably larger and more compressed than the penultimate one. The large subcircular umbilici are filled with matrix. The distinct sutures are straight but their direction is oblique. The large, low arcuate aperture is apparently situated in the equatorial plane at the base of the end chamber. The walls are thin, finely perforate, and the surface is smooth.
