Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
H. Bolli 1957Shape of test very low trochospiral; equatorial periphery distinctly lobate, axial periphery rounded. Wall calcareous, perforate, surface smooth or very finely pitted. Chambers spherical; about 12, arranged in about 2 1/2 whorls; the 4-5 chambers of the last whorl increase moderately to fairly rapidly in size. Sutures on spiral side depressed, radial; on umbilical side depressed, radial. Umbilicus small. Aperture a medium to low arch; interiomarginal, umbilical, often with a thin lip. Coiling random. Largest diameter of holotype 0.24 mm.
J. P. Kennett and M. S. Srinivasan 1983Test very low trochospiral, four to five slowly increasing, subglobular chambers in the final whorl. Sutures on both sides radial and depressed; surface smooth to very finely rugose; umbilical region small; aperture very low arch with a thin lip.
