Description

Test similar to Epistomina with more highly developed internal partition extending from posterior wall of chambers and always secondarily resorbed from earlier chambers, lateromarginal aperture nearly peripheral in position extending breadth of chambers, those of earlier chambers may remain open or be secondarily closed. [Hiltermannia was separated on the basis of a smaller internal partition. relative size being a feature here regarded as of only specific importance.]
