ReferenceDiagnosis
A. R. Loeblich and H. Tappan 1988Test.- A very low trochospire with a flat spiral side and a convex umbilical side. Primary aperture umbilical. Umbilicus about ⅓ of the maximum diameter. Umbilical system composed of portici bordering the successive apertures, leaving proximal accessory apertures, and sometimes composed of tegilla towards the end of the whorl. Chamber profile with one or two moderately developed keels, the keel on the umbiilical side generally less developed or reduced to a row of pustules parallel to the keel situated on the spiral side, or absent. Chamber surface pustulose on the umbilical side, except sometimes towards the end of the last whorl; slightly pustulose on the spiral side; initial chambers typically globular on the spiral side. Sutures depressed, more or less radial on the umbilical side; curved and variably raised on the spiral side. Peripheral outline sub-circular, slightly lobate.
