Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. A. Cushman 1927Test with the early chambers planospiral, later ones biserial,
the test elongate, sides nearly parallel and the biserial chambers
very numerous; wall calcareous, finely perforate; aperture elliptical, terminal or nearly so in the adult. America. I have lately had specimens from the Upper
Cretaceous of Texas and Mexico which are evidently identical
with Ehrenberg's species. The genus Heterohelix afterward
changed to Spiroplectc: by Ehrenberg has as its type H. Ehrenberg with planospiral young but the later chambers
as in Guembelina, a genus derived from it.
