Description

Test unilocular, rarely 2 or more chambers, surface variously ornamented, aperture on elongate neck which may have phialine lip, not radiate. [Differences in chamber shape are here regarded as of specific, not generic, value, hence the elongate forms (e.g., "Amphorina," "Procerolagena," Fig. 404,11), are considered congeneric.]
