Description. Test elongated, slender, oval in cross section with rounded periphery. Chambers increasing in size gradually. Sutures clear, very slightly depressed, oblique, slightly curved. Wall smooth,

finely perforated. The upper part of each chamber is clear. Aperture a narrow loop at the base of the last chamber.

Remarks. It differs from Brizalina earlandi ( Parr,

1950) by possessing more than twelve chambers of which the upper part is clear.
