Morphological description. Test agglutinated, initially planispirally coiled and latter chambers tend to uncoil, forming a wide uniserial pattern with poorly defined, slightly slanting suture lines; aperture is terminal and oval ( Figure 2.21 View FIGURE 2 ).

Occurrence. Accessory species (<10%) along the estuary, preferring the middle-low stands of the marsh; higher proliferation and densities during summer.
