DESCRIPTION

The test is slightly elongated oval with an axial diameter of 1.01- 1.41 mm and equatorial diameter of 0.45-0.78 mm. Index of elongation is between 1.79-2.71. The first 4-5 whorls which follow the proloculus are devoid of an axial thickening, so that the shape of the test seems spheric in this stage. Axial thickening increases at the last 4 whorls, therefore the shape of the test becomes elongated oval in the adult stage.Dimorphism is faint.
