Description

Test small, discoidal, planispiral and evolute, symmetrical, early chambers small and globular, later ones numerous, relatively broad and low and forming 2.5 to 7 whorls, septa straight, simple, wall thin, undifferentiated, chomata well developed in later whorls, aperture a single crescentic opening. [Originally placed with the staffellids, close to EostaOella and Millerella, it was also considered to be related to Nanieella. It is here assigned to the Endothyrinae, because of the undifferentiated wall. single aperture, and presence of chomata.]
