Diagnosis Test elongate, a high trochospiral coil of only two to three whorls of numerous very broad low chambers, intercameral sutures slightly curved, perpendicular to the spiral suture and almost paralleling the long axis of the test, slightly depressed; wall calcareous, optically radial, perforate, surface smooth, rarely striate; aperture a loop in the depressed face of the final chamber, broadest at the upper end, with high and denticulate rim, simple and ridgelike internal toothplate connecting the aperture to the previous foramen. M. Eocene (Lutetian) to Holocene; cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
