Description
Solitary with beaker-form calice, major septa long but amplexoid, with caninioid dilatation in tabularium decreasing with age, and thin and flexuose in dissepimentarium, neither cardinal nor counter septum of distinctive length, and cardinal fossula not strongly marked, wide, parallel-sided and short, with slight tabular depression, minor septa also thin and flexuose but most are contratingent and except in late stages their inner ends are thickened, the thickening continuous with that of their neighboring major septa, tabulae broad and horizontal, with downturned edges, dissepimentarium narrow with steeply declined, small but unequal and not globose dissepiments. [Diagnosis based on lectotype only, from uncertain locality and horizon. See HILL & JULL, 1965, p. 207.]
