The Uvigerinidae are a group of foraminiferans known from the Upper Cretaceous to the present. In the genus Uvigerina, the test is rounded in cross section with inflated chambers (Loeblich & Tappan 1964b).
Characters (Loeblich & Tappan 1964b): Test triserial to biserial in early stage, later may become biserial or uniserial; aperture terminal with neck and internal tooth plate connecting apertures of successive chambers.
