D. G. Jenkins 1966Test free, low trochospiral, sinistrally coiled, spiral side convex; equatorial periphery quadrilobate, axial periphery rounded. Wall calareous, perforate, fairly coarsely pitted. Chambers with spherical outline, 16 arranged in 3 whorls, with 5 in the first and second whorls and 4 in the third whorl, proloculus diameter about 0'01 mm; chambers increase rapidly in size in the final whorl. Sutures on the spiral and umbilical sides radial to slightly curved, depressed. Umbilicus open, deep. Aperture high rounded circular shaped, distinct arch with a thick rim, umbilical in position. Maximum diameter 0'45 mm.
J. P. Kennett and M. S. Srinivasan 1983Test subquadrate, low trochospiral, chambers spherical to subspherical, increasing rapidly in size as added; three to three and a half chambers in the final whorl; sutures radial to slightly curved and depressed on both sides; surface distinctly cancellate; the pores occupy well-developed pore pits seperated by interpore ridges. Umbilicus open, deep; aperture high with a thick rim, umbilical in position.
