Reference: Hornibrook, Brazier & Strong 1989, p.158, Fig. 37:13.

Synonymy: 1865, Nodosaria striatissima, Novara-Exped. geol. 1(2): 198, pl. 22, fig. 25 (Siphogenerina).

Description: Short triserial initial part followed by a long uniserial stage. They are typically costate, are round in cross section, and have a tubular lipped aperture with an internal toothplate. This species has a long regular uniserial stage and such a reduced initial triserial stage that Stache mistook it for a Nodosaria.

Distribution: Whaingaroan to Duntroonian.
