Spiroplectamminida

External views and axial section of Lituonella roberti, from Loeblich & Tappan (1964a).

Belongs within: Globothalamea.

The Spiroplectamminida are agglutinated foraminiferans with an initially planispiral to trochospiral section leading to an uncoiled biserial to uniserial section. Chamber lumina are subdivided by an inner septa in Spirotextularioidea but undivided in Spiroplectamminidae.
