Diagnosis Test discoidal, globular proloculus followed by a gradually enlarging enrolled, undivided tubular second chamber, earliest few whorls may be in a low trochospiral, later ones planispiral, commonly four to nine closely appressed whorls, tubular chamber may not be entirely cylindrical but lies against the periphery of the preceding whorl, and final part of the last whorl may bend at a right angle so that the aperture opens into the umbilical depression, asexually formed gamont with smaller test and smaller proloculus than those of sexually produced agamont; wall calcareous, hyaline, appearing optically as a single calcite crystal with c-axis oriented perpendicular to the plane of coiling or less commonly parallel to this plane, others may have a transitional orientation with c-axis at first perpendicular to the coiling axis and becoming progressively oblique to this in successive whorls, or may have a helicoidal structure, with c-axes at an angle of about 45¡ to the radii from the center of the test, or may consist of a mosaic of crystals in which the c-axes are variously oriented, the calcite being deposited over an organic membrane; surface commonly with numerous pores or pseudopores of limited distribution; aperture rounded to crescentic, at the open end of the tubular chamber; gamont individuals uninucleate, agamont multinucleate, asexual multiple fission occurs within a reproductive cyst formed by the animal, during sexual reproduction two or three individuals are enclosed within a fertilization cyst, the syzygy ensuring gametic fusion. U. Triassic (Rhaetian) to Holocene; cosmopolitan. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]From other sources
