Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| A. R. Loeblich and H. Tappan 1984 | Test trochospiral, plano-convex, pseudoumbilicus on umbilical side; deep indentation or murus reflectus at base of apertural face attaches to previous septum internally but is not a true aperture and does not communicate
with chamber interior; aperture interiomarginal, midway between umbilical region and periphery. Cretaceous. Differs from the Osangulariidae in having a low basal aperture rather than a vertical slit in the apertural face, and in the distinctive indentation of the apertural face (murus reflectus). |
