Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
B. T. Huber and R. M. Leckie 2011Test wall thin, microperforate, becoming finely perforate in the late early Albian, wall pores evenly distributed and variably spaced in adult chambers, surface smooth or with scattered and weakly developed pustules, very rarely observed with small, scattered perforation cones. Test small to moderate in size, coiled in a very low to low trochospire, spiral side evolute, umbilical side mostly involute; chambers globular, never elongated radially, increasing rapidly to moderately in size, with 3–6 in the final whorl; aperture a low interiomarginal, umbilical-extraumbilical arch bordered by a thin lip or flap that may extend partly into umbilical region.
