Description

Test free. lenticular; proloculus followed by streptospirally coiled, long, undivided tubular second chamber, evolute, tending to become more nearly planispiral with growth; wall calcareous, finely fibrous, with noticeable thickenings at sides of test, no outer imperforate layer observed; aperture at open end of tube. [Different generic names have been given to forms with varying degrees of symmetry of test thickening and relative amount of planispiral development. These are here regarded as specific distinctions only.]
