Redescription : It is largely based on Hottinger and Drobne (1980) and partly here described species in (Plate V, figures 1-5). Two generations have large and high conical test with keriothecal wall. The subspheric proloculus is followed by more than five rows of biserial (like-textularine) early chambers, later adult chambers bocome uniserial (Hottinger and Drobne, 1980, plate 2, figures 2,4, plate 12, figures 18, 19, 22, 23). The marginal zone (exoskeleton) is devoid of the vertical and horizontal partitions. The weakly developed endoskeletal pillars appear as from the last biserial textularine chambers Hottinger and Drobne (1980, plate 12, figures 1, 18-21). The basal foramina are scattered in central part of the cone (Hottinger and Drobne, 1980, plate 12, figures 9,16).
