Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. D. Georgescu and B. T. Huber 2009Test is biserial throughout. Proloculus is small and followed by larger second chamber. Chambers are subglobular to globular in early portion of test and often reniform in adult. Periphery is broadly rounded. Aperture is a low- to medium-high arch situated at base of last-formed chamber; it is bordered by two symmetrically developed flanges. Chamber surface is smooth or with fine longitudinal costae in earlier species and completely costate in evolved ones. Test wall is calcitic, hyaline, microperforate to finely perforate. Pores are situated in intercostal spaces or they might penetrate and interrupt costae.
