Figure 8.25

Description. Test elongated, tapered, arcuate. Chambers increasing gradually in size, not inflated. Sutures slightly oblique, distinct, limbate, only slightly depressed. Wall smooth, without ornamentation. Aperture rounded, terminal on a neck.

Remarks. It differs from Laevidentalina sidebottomi ( Cushman, 1933) by its more tapered test with less inflated and more rapidly growing chambers.
