Description

Test free, elongate, circular in section, early portion biserial, later uniserial, chambers strongly overlapping and increasing in size, sutures distinct, flush, aperture terminal, central, radiate, with entosolenian tube. [Although superficially resembling Pandaglandulina, type material of the type-species of Psecadillm was stated by CUSHMAN (*486, p. 228) to be biserial in the early stage and thus belongs with Glandulina.]
