Diagnosis

Reference	Diagnosis
J. Pawlowski et al. 2013	Bi- or multi-chambered test with tubular chambers at least in the juvenile stage; wall agglutinated or calcareous; in ancestral forms the test is composed of a spherical proloculus followed by a spirally enrolled tubular chamber; more evolved forms have multi-chambered tests; Molecular characteristics: relatively short SSU rRNA gene (2289–2866 nt) and very low GC content (< 30%).
