Diagnosis. Moderate–sized species with inflated test and fine striae on the surface of chambers.

Remarks. Loeblich and Tappan (1994) assigned this species to the genus Euuvigerina attaching importance not on wall morphology (i.e., fine spines or longitudinal striations) but on the feature of the tooth plate inside the aperture. We rather attach importance to features of the wall surface. This is a tentative treatment, and emendation of the genus is needed.

Occurrence. Sporadic in the Onogoshi, Yonahama, and Minebari formations.
