Description: A large non-fusulinid, calcareous uniserial foraminifer with thick walls penetrated by canals and a cribrate terminal face.

Comparison: It is very similar to Cribrogenerina obesa Lange (1925, Verh. geol-mijnb Genoot. Ned. Kolon., Geol Ser. 7(3): 248, pl. 2, fig. 49) which was described from the Permian of Sumatra.

Distribution: Permian. Present at several localities in the Bay of Islands.

Comment: Cribrogenerina has been recorded widely from the Permian in eastern Asia.
